fixed and dyamic collum sizing in same table
I want the left and right collums to be a set size and the middle
collum to vary depending upon the size of the users browser window.
both of the following ways works in ie5 but not in
opera 6.
How do I implement this in browsers other than ie5?
<table width="100%" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<!--
<col width="150px"><col><col width="150px">
-->
<col width="150px"><col width="*%"><col width="150px">Andy Kohlenberg

That's the first time I see the tag, maybe Opera doesn't like it. I define cols with 's the first in the table.

Can I ask why you were using col tags? I have never seen it used before either

tags are only supported by IE and are used with colgroup. Something like so:
<?php<TABLE>
<COLGROUP>
<COL width=\"30\">
<COLGROUP>
<COL width=\"30\">
<COL width=\"0*\">
<COL width=\"2*\">
<COLGROUP align=\"center\">
<COL width=\"1*\">
<COL width=\"3*\" align=\"char\" char=\":\">
<THEAD>
<TR><TD> ...
...rows...
</TABLE>
?>

the col tag was introduced with the iframe tag (both a waste of bandwidth)
blah
stretchs
blah
dont even need thead or tbody, these tags were introduced but no one caught onto them, its mostly only WYSIWYG editors that add them into your code.
