We maintain a "Notice Board" that contains recent campus news. Part of this setup requires some complicated table layout and rendering. If you view, http://home.uleth.ca/css with Netscape 2.02 - Netscape 4.51, it renders the table and screen successfully. With Mozilla M3, the centering is wrong, and there is a large gap in the pictures. The code in the page was orignally written to be compatible with Netscape 2.0, so, there are no IE specific tags that could be causing problems. Thanks for taking a look. --Thomas
Basic scenario is a table with width=100%, with two fixed width TD elements defining the columns. In this situation it's clearly ambiguous about how to distribute the excess width to the columns, but Nav4 appears to dump it all in the RH column. However, 5.0 allocates some to each column, which leads to the gap between tables. Perhaps this is a known problem??
