Fixing the Width of a Table (despite the size of the window)

[Coxylaad]

Hi I am trying to fix the siz of a span (or a table would do).

The problem I have is that when i reduce the size of the explorer window the span (or table) width reduces to fit. I dont want this to happen, is there any way in style sheets that I can stop this happening?

Thanks

Ian

Working with tables, I've found that you can exercise significant control on how the table is drawn, using

<table style="table-layout:fixed" ...

e.g.
<TABLE STYLE="table-layout:fixed" WIDTH=600>
<COL WIDTH=100><COL WIDTH=300><COL WIDTH=200>
<TR><TD>...</TD><TD>...</TD><TD>...</TD></TR>
:
</TABLE>

Found this in the microsoft help, so it's likely that this is IE specific.
