Safari table width problem

Josh Renaud

I'm working on a site and ran into a little trouble with Safari.

Here are the relevant links:

page: http://www.joshrenaud.com/fredbear/contact.html
css: http://www.joshrenaud.com/fredbear/s...eets/style.css

(both have successfully passed the relevant validators)

The problem is that the Feedback table breaks out of the containing div. I
don't specify a width for the table, but it seems to default to 100% of the
parent div. But when I apply left and right margins, instead of the table
shrinking, it keeps this 100% width and moves to the right, extending beyond
the border of the containing div.

I have also tested this page in NN7 and IE5.1 on the Mac, and neither does
this behavior. In both of those browsers, the table remains within the
containing div, with a 25px margin on the left and right. This is what I
want to see in Safari.

Can anyone help me understand (1) why Safari behaves the way it does and (2)
how to get my page to look in Safari as it does in the other browsers?

Thanks!

I'm still trying to solve a problem I have experienced in Safari. This is my third post on the subject. I'm hoping someone can shed some light. The problem is that, in Safari, a table with no specified width inside a containing div with a specified width seems to break out of that div when margins are applied to the table. It seems the table's width defaults to 100% of the parent div. But when I apply left and right margins to the...

Why is Safari not inserting a new row/field in the same order like IE, Mozilla and Opera

by: Stefan Mueller | last post by:

I'm really very confused. With the following code I can add rows/fields in frame 1 and 2. If I use IE, Mozilla or Opera the new rows/fields get added in ascending order. However, if I use Safari the inserted rows/fields in frame 2 are in descending order (frame 1 is in ascending order). Is this a bug? Is this a known problem? How can I fix this problem? Stefan

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
