Hello all,
I have encountered an unexpected problem where if I render a table (in IE or
Opera) and there are cells that contains URLs with long query strings, even
though I specify the table element with the width attribute set as 90%, when
I render the document, it spans way off the right side of the screen. For
some reason, having a long query string in the cell does some funcky stuff.
Does anyone know how to *force* the table to only span 90% across the
screen?
