I think we have the awesome IE6 to account for this one.
I'm seeing the same as Tib's screenshot when using IE6 (XP SP2).
Mozilla Firefox displays the pages correctly however, and doesn't wack
the text in the columns over, 1 item per line, creating a wide column.
Is that Firefox what Rob is using?
I removed the width=100 and noticed the problem went away, so I think we're
looking at an issue where the two browsers disagree on how to handle
that case.
I know which one I would bet on as far as being "standard behaviour."
NM, let's not get into that.
