2 Tables, same width in tds?

[John Milton]

Hi all

I have a table with data in it, adn the tds inside the table get their
width automatic...

but, i have above this table another table, and i want the tds inside
this table to be the same size as the tds in the below table

note that both tables in the same width, and both has same number of
tds in a tr.

I dont have the style.width property (it shows ""), so i tried to take
the width from clientWidth, but when i set style.width =
otherTable.clientWidth, the js change the value. I cant put
clientWidth = otherTable.clientWidth cuz it's read only..

Help please

<table width="100%" .....

for each table.

Well, "duh!" Men don't often ask "Does this make me look fat?"
So, of course, we don't have to lie with men like we do with women.

If you do not set the width, then the td will not have a width
attribute. IE may be different, it sometimes assigns a value to
properties even if you haven't.

In general, if you want them to have the same width, you must set the
width for each column in each tale to the same value.
