Anyone know why firefox would want to base a tbl percentage from the div it is in and IE would want to base it on the whole page

[jomanda]

Kopilman: it is because IE doesn't render it correctly, if you are using a percentage for a block level item like a table, it should follow the size of the container it is stored in

[Kopilman]

The container size it relative

If you want to use css to create the layout, there are a couple workarounds to make it work in both firefox and ie

[Kopilman]

I've used css to layout the site
Just need to format some stuff in a table

[jomanda]

So you're saying the div width is relative?

[Kopilman]

Yes
It looks fine in IE
It looks squished in FF
But when i expand the %...it looks too big in IE...and fine in FF

[jomanda]

I see, do you have anything in the table already? try putting in some  's in the table cells

[Kopilman]

Yeah
The table is full of stuff
Thats why it doesn't look right

[jomanda]

Try putting a margin on the table using css for margin: 0 auto;
Kopilman: did that work for you?

[Kopilman]

No
