Ingo, This is great! Your additions seem to replicate the desired rendering. These should work for the actual web project I'm working on as I've tried to make my test case a simplified version of the same structure.
For conditional comments, do you think I should target IE6+ with these additions? Out of curiosity, does IE7b2 render the table similarly to IE6 (ie, off the screen) without your two additions? Lastly, how did you know that 'flow:left' and 'zoom:1' would do the trick? I vaguely remember the redundant but effective 'zoom:1' being mentioned in an article. Is either or both documented elsewhere? Thanks again! Brett PS - Hopefully I've replied to the list properly. I now see how time can be switched if I reply to the message that appears /before/ the one from css-d.
