IE and Firefox Table + CSS Help

Hey guys,

I am having a couple of problems with IE and Firefox reacting diferently. I am going to use http://services.georgiasouthern.edu/...w/training.php to explain my problems

1. I can not get FF to change the widths of tables. As you can see I got the <table width="75%"> and if you open the page in IE, the table is 75% but in FF it is 100%

2. I can not get tables to center in IE. Again open up the training.php to see example. Ive tried table align="center" and div align="center" and it will still refuse to center.

3. For some reason in FF my buttons on top are all misalligned when I attempt to use my own CSS code. No matter how I apply the CSS code, for some reason when I use CSS it messes up the buttons in FF but not IE These are template based buttons that I am unable to edit,

What makes this a little tricky is that the template is controled on the school server and I only have access to where it says

<!--CONTENT STARTS===!>

I am thinking it is whats causing a lot of my problems but I was hoping you guys can help!!

The tables look fine to me...has this been fixed?

For the buttons on top, this is likely a box-model issue and you'll need to modify the template.css file.

thanks for the suggustion

I got the nav bar fixed but now im just have to fix items #1 and #2

Its weird, at home the table width is correct in FF. But at work the table is coming to 100% even though I set it deferently. I am using FF 1.07 at work, but sure about home. Anyone ever heard of this problem before?

I'm not terribly familiar with the older versions of firefox...

I'd try wrapping the table in a div with the width explicitly set, or maybe try adjusting the widths on the table rows and cells. If all else fails, see what adjusting the overflow on the table elements does. It's going to take lots of testing to figure out what works - unless you can find a resource that just tells you .

HTH.

I updated to FF 1.5 and it seems like it fixed the problem. I dont think many people use FF 1.0* so I am not too worry about it

There is a JavaScript solution for this...
Do you want it? It's a short JavaScript, but I am a bit lazy. I'll fetch for you asap if you need it....
