I'm checking someone elses work and I notice they have a table set to 580 pixels width...but 3 of 4 rows inside are 773 pixels wide and 1 row is 772 pixels wide... Is this some kind of layout trick?<br />
<br />
I thought that rows would have to be the same or less in size as the table width. I mean it sorta sounds like saying: Hey I have a car that sits 5 people, but there's 9 people inside!<br />
<br />
The html page works fines though...so I'm just curious if its normal to do this or not...first time I've ever seen it..so I thought it was a little strange...<br />
<br />
thanks in advance if anyone replies!-)<!--content-->the <TD> width is restricted to the width available in the table.<br />
<br />
setting it higher doesn't expand the table out.<br />
<br />
they probably had all four cells set the width, and then decided to let the table define the width, and can't be bothered to change the cells.<!--content-->yeah it doesn't do any good to do it like that. lazy programmers
