Trouble constraining width of table cell

laredotornado

Hi,

On both PC IE 7 and Firefox, I'm having this problem. I want a
particular table cell to be exactly 142 pixels wide and would prefer
the rest to evenly take up the rest of the width. But this code isn't
working (the table cell is getting much bigger than 142 pixels):

<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
class="sidebarT ext" width="1">
<tr><td colspan="6" align="center"> <img src="images/
RR_COMPARE_Head erGFX.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></td></tr>
<Tr>
<td class="compareA llTableHeader" align="center" style="width:
142px;">Version Pricing</td>
<td class="compareA llTableHeader" align="center"> $10/mo.</td>

<td class="compareA llTableHeader" align="center"> $35/mo.</td>
<td class="compareA llTableHeader" align="center"> $50/mo.</td>
<td class="compareA llTableHeader" align="center"> $75/mo.</td>
<td class="compareA llTableHeader" align="center"> $100/mo.</td>
</tr>

There are no width attributes specified in any of the classes. What
else can I do to constrain the width of the table cell? I've tried
specifying width="100%" in the other table cells but to no avail.

I have neither, but I can discuss the general idea.

This width is a problem. If you allow the table to be wide enough,
the individual width will have a chance (it works with my browsers).

I can't figure out a way to possibly make this work in HTML. I have a table embedded in another table, with the inner table spanning a few columns. I would like for the outer table to span the width of the page. The problem is that the 2nd row that contains the colspan'ed cell with the inner table in it is wider than it needs to be (there's blank space at the end) which causes the top row to be wider than it needs to be. Why, and is...

Problem with cell width (100%)

I am having a problem with a cell in a table in ASP.NET which used to work OK in classic ASP.

In ASP.NET the 2nd cell (when set to 100%) is 500 pixels wide (hence overlapping the image in row 1), wheras in classic ASP the cell would have a width of 500-22 = 478 pixels (thus filling the remainder of the...

Specifying width as a percent

Hi everyone, Can anyone tell me why the top paragraph block stretches across the screen (as you would expect), while the bottom div doesn't stretch across the entire screen? When I set the width to 100% (which I interpret as saying 'make this width the same width as the parent (which is the entire screen)) the div is made just wide enough to fit it's contents, and if I decrease the value for the width, the width of the div stretches?!
