TD width increasing normal percentage under Safari / Chrome
Hi,
I got a light problem but which is very "strange". Here it is :
I got a table with 3 columns : left and right have a width of 23% each while the middle column having the remaining space. Everything looks good under IE, FF, Opera.
But for some reason, under Safari 3.2.1 & Chrome 1.0.154.48, my right column has a wider space than it normaly must have ! In fact, it expand and take the space of the middle column which normaly is my main part of the site. Anoying...
Even better ; I tried to fix it with javascript solutions after the page has loaded and it didn't work either.

Does anyone ever faced this problem ? Have you solved it ?

Looking at the CSS .. I note that if you change the width of #columnRight from 23% to 200px, then it adjusts properly. This would imply that the % division of columns is not completely valid.
I see that in the top row of the table .. you have td#columnTop .. which has a Colspan = 2.
This double width column at the top of the table (with no fixed width or %) .. has the effect of messing up the columns that come beneath.

Yes, that's true for the fixed width, I've done it.
There's normally no problem with the td#columnTop colspan="2" as it is equal to td#columnMid & td#columnRight.
But, is percentage a recursive problem under Safari &/ Chrome ?
Sure, it solve my problem but I'm always trying to make a website easily updated ; if I want to change de width of my mainpart, I only have to change 1 setting. Putting fixed values is not going on this direction...
