This has been driving my crazy trying to solve
Code: http://pastebin.com/rqyw35jG
First of all, I'm rendering in standards mode.
I have a table in IE, with width=100%, and all columns in the table with specified widths except the last column. The intended behaviour is for IE to size the final column so it stretches to the page. This more or less works. However;
Certain conditions seem to break the table widths and cause IE to go and size the table however it pleases.
The table contains a row which is merged across all columns AND
This merged row contains enough
text to fill the whole cell AND
Enough
text is entered into one of the cells whose column had unspecified width, causing the
text to wrap.
When this 3 conditions occur, all the columns move slightly. The
text still wraps and you wouldn't normally notice that the columns are the wrong size unless you measure them, or compare the page to a version without wrapped
text.
Is this even supposed to happen in standards mode?
