Assymetric result in Opera 7.11

[Dirk Kruisheer]

Anyone knows why the table below is not displayed symmetric, i.e. with the
three cells in the middle row evenly distributed horizontally in Opera 7.11
for Windows?
No problem in Opera6, IE 6, Mozilla, even not in Netscape 4 (all for
Windows).

Thanks in advance,

Dirk

<table border="1" cellpadding="20" width="100%">

<tr>
<td align="center" width="100%" colspan="3">
<h1>Welkom!</h1>
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td align="center" width="33%">
<p><a href="html/welkom.htm">Kom binnen</a></p>
</td>
<td align="center" width="34%" >
<p>NOT SYMMETRIC IN O7!</p>
</td>
<td align="center" width="33%">
<p><a href="html/welcome.htm">Please come in</a></p>
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td align="center" width="100%" colspan="3">
<h1>Welcome!</h1>
</td>
</tr>

</table>

There are, but I for one am not inclined to reply when I see yet another
table used for layout.

Yes, I lurk there too, but refuse to fix problems with such nasty markup.

Hi Dirk,

Ik kon het antwoord van Headless niet uitstaan, dus ik heb ff zitten
vogelen:
Just delete the width="100%" from the td with colspan="3". The table
is already 100% width, and the 3 td's in the middle make 100%, so,
automatically, the top and bottom td, being 3 columns wide, are 100%.
Maybe Opera 7 doesn't like to be told twice ;-)

Houdoe,
Els

This is not another table used for lay out nor nasty make up but valid HTML
4.01 transitional intended for an audience that may not have gone beyond
Netscape 4 -- bringing people a message they may otherwise not be able to
receive. Get a live, you Headless and Toby.
