This is a problem with Netscape 4.0 as well as mozilla, but not with IE. <table> <tr> <td width="75"><p>A menu</td> <td><p>A very short line, or no text at all.</td> <td width="100"><p>Another menu.</td> </tr> </table> In NETSCAPE 4.X, if the middle column (no width designated) does NOT contain enough text to be wrapped when the table is rendered, the columns get messed up in such a way as to suggest that the middle column is not filling up the space between the two fixed with columns. The solution is to set the middle column to "100%" which forces the middle to fill out regardless of contents. HOWEVER, in MOZILLA (build something like around November 29th), putting this "100%" in the middle column makes the middle column take over the rest of the width, shoving the third column out beyond the scroll bar. I'm not sure this is a bug in Mozilla, or in Netscape 4 (which is definitely is), but I am certain that in IE4 and IE5, not having a width designation or using "100%" between two fixed width columns both work. If you load up: http://www.keithirwin.com/cwc, things seem to work. If you then follow it up with the URL I included above, things don't work. Then if you go back to www.keithirwin.com/cwc, it doesn't work anymore either. Hope this helps somewhere somehow. -K
Oh, and I should mention that without that "100%" on the middle column, Mozilla renders the code just fine (at least as far as my pages on http://www.keithirwin.com/cwc). So, really, I'm asking for the hack we need in order for Netscape browsers to work to also work in Mozilla, as it does in IE. Thanks.
