width percentages in IE


They don't seem to work in IE, but do in Firefox.
I have some tabs that are div elements within a table row.
and I need teh tabs to stretch. Any ideas? Like I said,
using width: 33% etc etc works in firefox.

My psychic friends tell me you need to change the period on line 47,
position 64, to a comma.

Seriously, unless you give a link to your code, how the heck is anyone
supposed to figure out what's wrong with it?

Yes it does work in IE. I use it frequently with no problems.
Which format are you using in the tables?
width="33%" or width:33%; ?
The first is for tables, the 2nd is for divisions.

Shouldn't that be: "The first is for HTML, the 2nd for CSS"?

DIVs don't have a width attribute. The first is HTML attribute syntax, the
second is CSS syntax.
