table width

Hello,

I was wondering how to do percentage widths for tables. I thought
simply having the width="15%" would do it. I had it so that there is
only one row, and three data cells. Each cell were set to 15%, 70%
and 15%, table width=100%.

It works fine in opera, but not in IE. Can someone please help me?

The website is http://www.oregonsae.org/2004mbw/

Thank you very much. Feel free to email me at

You're gonna run into a lot of problems in this group just by using a
table for your layout. (They frown on that around these parts.)
Aside from that, I suspect that possibly by making your images 70%, IE
is thinking you mean 70% of the screen, rather than 70% of the table,
so it's making them wider than you want them, thereby stretching the
table off the screen.
That's just my own wild guess, and I'm probably wrong.
I now yield the stage to those who a) will revile you for using tables
for layout and b) know what they are talking about :)

As we say in Dutch "Je plaat blijft hangen", which means more or less:
"The needle got stuck in your record."

Keep seeing this 'answer' time after time.

In theory, that should work,

For starters, there are some pretty serious markup errors there. I see
new <html>, <title>, and <body> elements *within* the table, so
whatever the browser should do with that is unclear to me.

Also, your total image widths that you have specified won't fit within
a 800px wide window, no matter what perecentage they add up to. (and,
.... oh dear. You are rescaling your images in html instead using
small versions. Make them physically smaller, and get their fiel sized
down, too -- it looks like you have over 300KB of images. But I
digress...)
