100% width table cell
- by Elvis
Hello!
I have this table layout. I want to align the whole content to the right. So i'm using one cell with width: 100%;. Usually everything looks good and nice.
But there is something, which i don't understand. If the content in cell, which has colspan, becomes bigger than normal cell in this column (you can test this by clicking Click to test button), it brakes whole layout.
This happens on Chrome, Safari 4 and 5, IE8, but on Opera, FF and IE7 is OK.
Any ideas?
