[ I posted this a few days ago in alt.html.css but received
no response -- it only gets one or two postings a month.
If there's a more approriate ng then please let me know. ]
I have a Web page that uses some JavaScript and CSS.
I have specified a three column table with a fixed-width
left and right side; the center colum expands to fill the page.
Within this portion of the table I have another table that
specifies "display:none" to hide it. When the page loads,
if JavaScript is enabled then it will change to "display:block".
However, the problem under Firefox is that the width of
the inner table column is not 100% as is expected;
though, the width of the inner table is 100%....
It fails under FF 1.5 and Opera 9.10;
it works under IE 5.5 and 6.0.
Below is the source for a Web page that shows the problem.
The top table is good; the bottom table shows the problem
The only difference is: id="divi" style="display:none";
that is, the code up which the JavaScript acts on.
Can anyone identify the problem/issue? Thanks in advance.
