It already has it, but firefox ignores it if the display isn't block, and if it is it's only as wide as the first cell of the table (as I just said). On 11/10/2005, "Christian Montoya" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >On 10/11/05, Jake Badger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

That might be an issue if you're changing the stylesheet all the time (although even then browsers should still update the cached file if it's changed) but generally people are talking about updating it infrequently and irregularly. In that case it might take a while to filter down to everyone's c

It's tabular data, so you should use a table. It displays reliably, it's semantically correct and if implemented correctly it's usable for screen readers. It's best to use all of the semantic table elements (th, tbody, thead, summary, caption) if you can. Jake Quoting Ryan Sabir <[EMAIL PROTECTED

Well both problems in IE6 are because it's triggering quirks mode and using the broken box model. If you remove from the start of the document it should detect the doc type and switch to strict mode. Of course this won't fix it under IE 5, if you want to fix that you'll have to use a box model hac
