how NN and IE handle table sizing

table of contents

table with quarter cells again

Now let's explicitely set the column widths with a pixel length

<table width=200 border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr>
<td bgcolor=red width=50>cell1</td
 ><td bgcolor=blue width=50>cell2</td>
<td bgcolor=green width=50>cell3</td>
  <td bgcolor=purple>cell4</td>
</tr>
</table>

we see in NN4.7:we see in IE5.0:
NN4.7 table divided into quarters by pixel IE5.0 table divided into quarters by pixel
we see in NN6.0: 
NN6.0 table divided into quarters by pixel

IE5.0 and NN6.0 correctly deduce that since the first three column widths add up to 150 pixels, the fourth column should be 50 pixels. NN4.7, on the other hand, decided that 50 pixels is the minimum width of the cells. It has assigned new cell width values to the columns, creating an unpredictable table layout.

The way to stablize the width of the cells is to set the width for each column.
