BUT
if you style the columns using the IE method, and style the third td (td+td+td etc) which will be understood by most modern browsers you should be able to get the column styled for everybody.
perhaps not the best way to go about things but it will work

I thought I read somewhere that you can style tables by columns, just as you can by rows and cells. In the article I read, the example showed TH across the top of the table, and the first column of cells was styled using some kind of column selector, not picking the first cell in each row. (this is one of those senior moments I guess, because I can't find where I read that now - it was in one of Russ's "light reading" posts a few months back I think.)
But if it's what I think it is, that would allow you to give a column an id and style it that way.
No?

Hi Folks,
Is there any way (without ids or classes) to target the 3rd (for example) column of a table to apply styles?
What I'm hoping for is something like...
table td[3] { text-align:right; }
... but I can't see anything like that in my references.
TIA
