Can IE 6.0 wrap tables EXACTLY like Firefox?

Wrapping Tables in IE without squishing table borders

[Dave925]

I'm trying to get IE to wrap tables like Firefox without squishing the border of the first table the window hits before it's wrapped. Firefox doesn't squish table borders when wrapping. If I put 'nowrap' in my html, it will screw up user-text-resizing by wrapping the text instead of increasing the size of the table. Is this just an IE 6.0 inability compared to Firefox?

Hi Dave925, welcome to WebmasterWorld.... I guess you are refering to the text within the table-cells wrapping?

If I put 'nowrap' in my html, it will screw up user-text-resizing by wrapping the text instead of increasing the size of the table. Is this just an IE 6.0 inability compared to Firefox?

Using 'nowrap' (although deprecated under HTML 4.01) should not prevent the user from resizing text - it should still prevent the text from wrapping in the table-cell (<td> element) - in IE and Firefox. Whether text resizes is dependant on how the font-size is defined. If you have set the font-size to an absolute size (eg. 12px), then it will not resize in IE (but will in Firefox).

I'm not sure about your "squish[ing] table borders"?

Do you have a code example you can post?
