Hello developer of Exhibit,

first of all I have to state, that Exhibit is a great tool and has become a 
mature tool in version 2.0.
Nevertheless I have difficulies in using the colspan attribute for table data 
elements. Trying
the following lens div does render correctly in FireFox but fails in IE 7.
The td with class="Filler" only does provide space to indent the following td. 
It is necessary to be able
to give the first line in the next td a negativ text-indent and therefore left 
shift the first word:

                    <div class="item" ex:role="lens" ex:itemTypes="Feature" >
                     <table cellpadding="1" width="100%" >
                         <tr valign="middle">
                             <td class="image" width="1px" >
                                <a target="DataFrame" 
                                   ex:id-content=".label" 
                                   ex:href-content=".label" >
                                  <img src="../../images/map.gif"   />
                                </a>
                             </td>
                             <td>
                                 <table>
                                  <tr>
                                   <td colspan="2">
                                         <div>Fläche: <span 
ex:content=".Flaeche"></span> m²</div>
                                       </td>
                                      </tr>
                                      <tr> 
                                   <td class="Filler"></td>
                                     <td>  
                                         <div class="indented">
                                           <span >
                                             <span 
class="ListDescriptor">Person: </span>
                                             <span ex:content=".person"></span>
                                           </span>
                                         <div>
                                         <div class="indented">
                                           <span 
class="ListDescriptor">Buchungsblätter:</span>
                                           <span 
ex:content=".Buchungsblaetter"></span>
                                         </div>
                                         <!-- div ex:control="item-link"></div> 
-->
                                     <td> 
                                  </tr>
                                  <tr>
                                   <td colspan="2">
                                    <img class="Printline" src="button.gif" /> 
<a target="DataFrame" ex:id-content=".label" 
ex:href-content=".label">printer</a>
                                   </td>
                                  </tr>
                                 </table>
                             </td>
                         </tr>
                     </table>
                    </div> 

When looking at the generated HTML code produced by the scissors tool the 
colspans are swallowed.
I monitored the function Exhibit.Lens._processTemplateElement and found that in 
IE 7 it doesn|t pass 
colspan attributes. At the end of this funciton I read that "IE swallows style 
and event handler 
attributes of HTML elements". Perhabs this is also true for the colspan 
elements.

Can you give me any hints how to procede?

Many thanks in advance

C. Droste
