Whats this Value *

[autopost]

I seen this used on a page a couple of days ago and can't say Ive seen it used before * or what the value would be for it...just curious.<br />
<br />
<font size="1">Sports</font></b></font></td><br />
<br />
<td width="*"><font size="1" face="Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br />
1 </font></td><!--content-->No idea. . . <br />
<br />
But it looks weird to me.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
-beth<!--content-->It basically means that the table cell will take up whatever space is left after the other cells have been defined.<br />
<br />
i.e. if you have:<br />
<br />
<table><br />
<tr><br />
<td width="200">cell contents</td><br />
<td width="*">cell contents</td><br />
</tr><br />
</table><br />
<br />
then the first table cell will take up 200 pixels in width and the second table cell will take up whatver space is left, depending on the viewers screen resolution.<!--content-->Ahhh.<!--content-->Ahhh <!--content-->
