I have used the above page with Arachne 1.62 and 1.66, NS 2.02 and 3.04,
and Opera 3.5?. It looks different in the different browsers but there
is no difference between versions of the same browser.
It looks best in Netscape. I'm talking about the main page only.
Does anyone know what is supposed to set the relative table widths in
a multiple column table if widths are not explicitly specified ?
If I had written the rendering engine, I would have made each column
come out at total/number of columns. Of course that's too simple and
none of them did that.
But they each did something very different.
Arachne seems to be understandable as she made column 2 just enough to
accomodate the text input windows (which were also unspecified in size)
and the result was about 85% col 1 and 15% col 2.
Netscape seemed to make an attractive division at about 70% col 1 (guess)
and this put the column divisions directly above the right edge of the
"RESET" button. The text input windows were the same size as Arachne's.
Opera divided at about 60% with the division line not associated with
any edge I could see. The entry windows were also the same size as A's.
Just curious.
