Re: Calculating column widths

[Beckers, Marc]


I am trying to calculate column widths
for HTML tables generated from CALS
tables.
In CALS, you can set column widths as
absolute or proportional. Unfortunately,
browsers do not support the proportional
setting on an HTML width attribute.
This is a pain.

Err... the <td> element in html does accept a width in percent (of the table
width) - at least in html 1 (not sure about 3.2).  I don't know if the exact
meaning of this is the same as in CALS.  It's best to set the attribute for
the cell in all rows, to keep an unusally long one from overriding the spec
in another cell.

Cheers,
