Ahhh, interesting. Thank you for the link to the relevant
documentation. While it may not be the answer I was looking for, it's
good to know that I'm fighting an impossible to win battle.

I'll still play around with John's examples, as they are idea I hadn't
thought of, but it's looking like Javascript is going to come to the
rescue on this one. :(

Hey Philippe, any idea why Safari doesn't mind obeying max-width on a
<table> and Firefox does? See second example on this test page:

Thanks a billion!
