Sizing a Table for Netscape and IE

Hello Everyone,

I have a table that is made transparent by using an opacity control for IE browsers and Netscape browsers and it works as designed! Can you believe that?!

My question: is there a similar control for controlling the size of the table so it appears consistent with both browser types.
As I have it now the table appears much larger in Explorer than it does in Netscape.

As always, any input from you folks is immensely appreciated!

the only way to keep the size of the table consistant would have to be absolute positioning :S

For a table width of 100 pixels

...that what you were asking?

the border colours don't work in Netscape, also its bad idea to have empty bits (borderColorDark=)
if you add cellspacing and cellpadding to the table it should fix a bit of it, also empty td cells have different effects in different browsers, at minimum use  
you also might want to set the body margins (super fine tuning) as default body margins are different too.
I notice you have a end div tag at the end of the table, if the table is nested, whats in nested in, the 50% width wil be 50% of what ever its in so if it's nested in a div or two with multi widths you'll also get varying results.
