Fix table errror? - 7/31/2009 14:54:57
Hi,
The blue lines on this table extend beyond the page on unitcoins.us/pricing.shtml in IE not FF.
How can I get them to be the same width as the rest of the table?
Thanks

Thanks for checking..if you view the source code you/ll see the table.
It contains all the column data.

OK I went to that site in IE8. It would not load for 7 seconds or so then a alert came up asking me if I really want to download something. I quickly left that site.

Looking fine for me on IE7 (at least it's not going off the edge of the page), though the width of the table (the head of the sections of the table you've got in blue) does seem to be wider in IE than it is in both Firefox and Google Chrome. I'm not quite sure why that is, though you have a number of HTML errors in your code, and you've got a very complex table there, and there are few of the table cells that have got any dimensions specified. You've also got inline styles on the page, as well as an external stylesheet, and at the top of your table you've got some <colgroup> tags which are defining the width of your columns. For that final column on your table Firefox is rendering the width of the column at just under 100px according to my measurements (which would be about right given the instructions in the <colgroup> tags of a width of 101 (101 what? bananas? metres? pixels?) but IE's rendering it at 147px on my machine. According to the definition of the <colgroup> tag, width is one of the optional attributes of the <colgroup> tag, and should be specified in % or pixels.
It's difficult to say, as that's one complex table you've got there, and there's a lot of extra markup cluttering up the table, but my guess would be that because it's not specified what the width should be measured in, IE's taking a guess and getting it wrong. Looking at that page with the column cells highlighted using the web developer toolbar in both IE and FF, it's the width of that final column on the right that seems to be differing between the browsers. If you haven't already, install the web developer toolbars for both IE and FF and highlight the table cells and you'll see what I mean. The blue lines on the table are just selected rows of the table given a background colour of blue, so it's the width of the columns of the table that controls how wide the blue line is.
Putting right those HTML errrors though to check there's nothing in the HTML errors that's throwing the width of the final column out may solve the problem, but I suspect that specifying the width of your columns (whether % or px) may solve it. As I said though, although it's wider in IE than in FF for me, it's not extending beyond the edge of the page for me.

Womble..thanks for your extensive reply.
I found that by extending the width of the style sheet to 1050 (originally it was 1000px))
I solved the problem of the last col overextending.
With your expert analysis I'm going to take another look.
Thank you.

Fixed!
I made the colspan and td widths the same.
unitcoins.us/pricing.shtml
Thanks for your input
