In the interests of making my site backward competible I used a version of IE 3.0 to view it.

My beautiful tables with cell widths all forced using % values did not work properly and the cell widths were all readjusted to suit the volume of text in the relative cells.

If I replaced the %'s with fixed numeric values
i.e. 100%, 50%,40%,5% becomes 500,250,200,25 then they display exactly as the do in IE 6.0.

The only thing I could think of I was doing wrong is that being a lazy coder I wasn't using "" around my % vaules or numeric values.

Would this matter?

If not then why the hell do the % values not work the same in IE 3.0.

A very confused

Yes, you need quotes if your have the % sign.
If it doesn't help you are looking at a browserbug.

Also, I don't think many people use IE 3.0 anymore.
