Identifying width of a table

[Griff]

I have a page with multiple tables, some of which have the class
"ClassA".

I need to identify the widest table whose class is ClassA.

The following JavaScript code returns the table width
("thisTableWidth")
when run in FireFox 2.0, but returns '0' when run in IE6.

Be grateful for any advice for how to get at this value using IE6.

Thanks

-----------------------------
var thisTableWidth = 0;
var maxTableWidth = 0;

// Get collection of tables
var eachObject = document.getElementsByTagName("table");

// Iterate through each table
for (var i = 0; i < eachObject.length; i++)
{
// Does this table have a class called ClassA?
if (eachObject.className.indexOf('ClassA') != -1)
{
// Attempt to read this table's width
thisTableWidth = eachObject.offsetWidth;

// Is this wider than my last table I checked?
if (thisTableWidth > maxTableWidth)
{
maxTableWidth = thisTableWidth;
}
}
}

Found it out...

In IE, the JavaScript is run BEFORE the objects are displayed,
therefore they have a width of 0.

Have to put the Js in a function and call it in the onLoad() page
event.

I don't know if this may be of any relevance to you, but it was useful
to me not so long ago.
