Anyway to get around IEs rendering of a TD with a colspan of more than
1000? (right now it ignores 1000 and displays the TD as a cell with no
colspan)

What kind of data could possibly be ungodly complex enough to require
1000 columns? I've got to see this!

Maybe it's a really, really large multiplication table. Or a really,
really big linear programming matrix.

Or, maybe he/she/it is trying to achieve pixel-perfect layout up to
(pulling number out of hat) 1024 pixels wide.

I'd be impressed to see a browser render that without choking a bit.

Oh, I can easily imagine data that would require 1000 columns. What I
can't imagine is anyone wanting to read it.

Opera goes nuts, IE just renders to the first cell, and Firefox does just
fine.

Please respond to the group so others can share

Its a gantt chart. So if someone has a task that goes for more than
1000 days...

ok, is there an IE fix/work around for it?

.... then it's much more sensible to use a monthly scale rather than a
daily scale.

Nooooo, thats not the spec. So, in the end i'm guessing the answer is
NO, IE does not support colspans of > 1000.
