Sizing the cells of a 100% width table

<table> question

[Emperor]

Hi guys,

I want my <table> to be 100% width and the columns sized like this:

[to fit][leftover][to fit]

... the "to fit" means just big enough to fit the data and the "leftover" is, you guessed it, whatever width is left over after the "to fit" columns are sized.

I tried a few things and can't get it to work.

Thanks.

Hi emperor,

If you use css: give the tofit cols a width in px and leave the width of the leftover cell as auto ;

If you use html width do the same but leave the with of leftover empty.

hope this helps

widths : 1% 100% 1%

Neat solution Kaled...... ;)

[topsites]

shouldn't it be 1% 98% 1% ...?

just wondering...

You would think that all % settings should add up to 100 but in my experience, it really doesn't matter. I'm moving away from tables for layouts but I've used them extensively and it should be ok, that said, everything should be tested on the big three browsers (at least).
