Hi folks.
I have quite a number of pages that are dynamically loaded using JSP. I use tables on each of these, and I need the width of these tables to be as wide as the users screen (100%!). IE displays this good, so does netscape 6 (kind of), but with netscape 4.7, I have absolutely no control over the width it makes the table. I cannnot seem to pinpoint why it ignores the width defined. I've tried reducing the overall table to 80%, but that's not really a fix as it doesn't always work! If anyone has ANY ideas, I would really appreciate them. Thanks.

Have you tried this?
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica">code:</font><HR><pre><html> <head></head> <body> <table width=100% bgcolor=00ff00><tr><td> </td></tr></table> </body> </html>[/code] Maybe you should post some code, or try to give some more detail.

Sorry, should have been more precise.
The tables are all defined as follows: <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tr> <td>... </td> </tr> </table> The problem is that Netscape ignores the width="100%" part if the text within a <td> cell wraps around itself.

I am new to the game but my tables were original all in percentages IE was fine but netscape won't function at all. I went back setup the pages, "text based" to 650 regardless of window size and 700 for my product pages. worse case senario is that 4% of my users will scroll 1 inch to view a piece of an image.
Couldn't find any other work around. I have read about setting pages sizes "table sizes" dynamically using scripting. Then using a sniffer to find out what the browser is. Combine it with .css and you present the page according to the results of the sniffer. Draw backs to this you can find at the W3C, as they point out the browser sniffers can fail and users can block them. Some people are afraid of java and javascripts.
