Hi All,
I am encountering this problem while doing some cross-browser testing.
The table in IE looks fine, in Firefox it goes all the way to the edge
of the screen and in Opera it is going off the screen (way too big). I
have the table width set as 160% (I know its high, but I was playing
around with it)
Here is a sample page, it doesnt look as good as it should and I'm
sorry for having to use geocities, but the table is there and you will
see the effect I speak of

I'm not going to check all that HTML, certainly because it doesn't
validate. Just a quick reminder that for a percentage to work, the width of
a parent element has to be defined. If that width is also a percentage,
then it's parent etc. If one is not defined, all bets are off and browsers
have to guess what you want, and do so quite differently.
To get a quick answer and make it easy for us, please use this guide:

In short: create a minimal test-case, without all the markup that does not
affect the behaviour you've got questions about.
