hi david

here's my hack for liquid tables

inside the "fixed" columns, put a transparent gif that is one pixel high
and as wide as the *minimum* width of that column

then specify an outrageous width for the liquid column, and constrain the
table with width=100%

the really wide column forces the width=100% table to squeeze all the
columns, but the "fixed" ones won't collapse any narrower than their
minimum widths because of the gifs

result -- only the liquid column changes as you resize the window

  <table width=100%>
  <tr>
  <td><img src=1pix_clr.gif height=1 width=120><br>
  first column content</td>
  <td><img src=1pix_clr.gif height=1 width=150><br>
  second column content</td>
  <td width=1200>
  third column content</td>
  </tr></table>
