Click to See Complete Forum and Search --> : Nested tables
I have a table within a table. The outside table is set to 500px wide. The inner table is set to 650px wide (being populated/pulled from a Lotus Notes database). Will the inner table always force the outer table to go 650px wide?
For whatever reason in FireFox and Netscape, the content is forced to go wider but in EI the content is diplayed as 500px wide which just adds to my frustration.
DIV tags/CSS are not a option!!!

Thats just sloppy HTML. Why would you specify the nested table to be wider than the main table?

It does seem a bit crazy but I was not going to say anythign till you said that.
Why are you nesting tables anyways it it a bad thing to do.

i think cos he cant use divs or css...??!?
Easy...
Like I said I can't use DIV tags. I have a <td> that is set to a specific width (say 500px). Within that <td> tag a Lotus Notes Document (that I dont have control over) which sometimes contains tables is being imported and displayed within that <td> tag. Now the Lotus Notes Doc (I have no control over) that sometimes contains tables may have the tables set to a larger width (say 600px).
Does this explanation help a little better.

You could try.
<td style="overflow: auto;"></td>
Not sure it will work I have not ever tryed it.
