can a <TD> tag have a percentage width?

[Andre]

My website at http://www.oregonsae.org/2004mbw/ is a simple three
column table. There is only one table, and one row. The menu on the
left side is one <TD>, the content in the center is another <TD> and
the menu on the right side is another <TD>. I set the width to 15%,
70% and 15% by using <TD TD width="15%" valign="top" align="left">.
This works great in Opera, but in IE version 6.0.2800 in windows XP it
doesn't scale at all. Not at full page, not at partial size page.
What am I doing wrong?

Thank you very much.

See:
<http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/objects.html#ad ef-width-IMG>

Especially this sentence:
<q>
User agents should do their best to scale an object or image to match
.............^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^............ ............... ..........
the width and height specified by the author
............... ............... ...............
</>

IE 6 should try better?

Please scale your img before putting it on the web (BTW that also
loads the page a lot faster )and mention width="" and height="" using
the actual width + height, pls do not let the browser scale your
sizes.

Please post your query once. We all saw it the first time.
