IE get rowspan wrong

[aowen77]

Hello

I`m having some problems with IE 6. It has faults in the with calculation. i`ve tried following:

<TABLE BORDER="1" WIDTH="100%" style="table-layout: fixed;">
<col width="*" />
<col width="200" />
<tr>
<td>....

and I`ve also tried taking out the colspan=3 but it was never quite right in IE. Either the cells werent right or the conent was cut. has anyone a suggestion? i would be very thankful.

What colspan? What rowspan? Where's your page going wrong?

The pain of keeping track of all those table cells is why most of us went over to CSS layouts years ago.

rowspan in line 32 & 41 dont work

at the line 47 & 59 the table goes out of its cell in IE, Firefox works perfect.

Do you mean by css layouts, that i should use <div> and absolute positioning instead of tables?

 

[vacunita]

CSS, Divs and correctly used [red]relative[/red] positioning. Absolute positioning should only be used if absolutely necessary, it can be a nightmare if not used adequately.

In any case, and ignoring the fact that the <col> tag is IE specific. it is only used to specify alignment of Columns in a <TABLE>. LEFT, RIGHT, CENTER, JUSTIFY. Adding widths to it may produce undesired effects.

hi vacunita

i read that <col> is now CSS2 Standard

Would you care to specify which browsers are fully CSS2 compliant?
