table format problems

In the interests of making my site backward competible I used a version of IE 3.0 to view it.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
If I replaced the %'s with fixed numeric values<br />
i.e. 100%, 50%,40%,5% becomes 500,250,200,25 then they display exactly as the do in IE 6.0.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Would this matter?<br />
<br />
If not then why the hell do the % values not work the same in IE 3.0.<br />
<br />
A very confused<br />

Yes, you need quotes if your have the % sign.<br />
If it doesn't help you are looking at a browserbug.<!--content-->Also, I don't think many people use IE 3.0 anymore.<!--content-->
