have you tried setting the TDs as block?


Thanks for the response Chris, but if you do that, the cells will simply behave as block elements and appear one above the next (which they do on both Firefox and Safari if you add this declaration - no surprise that IE still works though!! :)

Your suggestion led me to trying display:inline-block and this (on Safari) stretched each table cell to accomodate it's contents (giving an unusual 'staggered' effect - each row measuring as wide as it's total contents!) By the way, Firefox and IE ignored this one.

At the moment, it's looking as though only Safari of the 'modern' browsers fails to support overflow:hidden on a table cell... (even IE6 seems to get it!!)

Once again, thanks for the suggestion!

Stuart
