This is incorrect HTML/XHTML. the value of attribute width is a MultiLength, that is, pixels, percents or "*" units.

[2] XXE is bundled with docbook-xsl-saxon.jar, which contains the Saxon extension called "com.nwalsh.saxon.Table.adjustColumnWidths". [3] XXE explicitly sets variable "use.extensions" to 1 [4] By default, the value of tablecolumns.extension is 1. Reference: http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ColumnWidths.html Therefore, I would say that your problem is caused by a bug in the DocBook XSLT stylesheets. > It seems that it is something related to > the CSS stylesheet used in the web site > where I publish the HTML output.

I would recommend to create a simple, standalone, example that allows to reproduce the problem and to report this as a bug to http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=21935&atid=373747 I'm really sorry but we currently don't have the time to do this ourselves. We are overloaded with work.
