display:none in FireFox ?

[Martin]

I'm using the following in a table in which I want the right-most
column to be hidden. This works as expected in IE but not in FireFox.

What am I doing wrong?

<colgroup>
<col width='18%' style='font-weight: bold'>
<col width='16%' style='font-weight: bold'>
<col width='13%' style='font-weight: bold'>
<col width='20%' style='font-weight: bold'>
<col width='33%' style='font-weight: bold'>
<col width='1%' style='display:none'>
</colgroup>

<col width='1%' style='display:none'>

Thanks. I looked at both of these but I didn't find the answer to my
question.

Can someone possibly give me an example of how to hide this column in
both IE and FireFox?

Did you read the article on the 2nd link? It answered your question,
'no' because 'col' is not container of the table cells...

At present, the only way I know of to set the table cells of said column
to a class where you have set the display property to 'none'


<style type="text/css">
.hideme {display:none}
</style>


<table>
<col width="200"><col width="300"><col width="400">
<tr><td>Visable</td><td>Visable</td><td class="hideme">Hidden</td></tr>
<tr><td>Visable</td><td>Visable</td><td class="hideme">Hidden</td></tr>
<tr><td>Visable</td><td>Visable</td><td class="hideme">Hidden</td></tr>
<tr><td>Visable</td><td>Visable</td><td class="hideme">Hidden</td></tr>
<tr><td>Visable</td><td>Visable</td><td class="hideme">Hidden</td></tr>
<tr><td>Visable</td><td>Visable</td><td class="hideme">Hidden</td></tr>
</table>

You have to set the display property of every cell in that column.

OK, I get it now.
