I'm seeing some table goofiness in Netscape 3, and I'm guessing it's still
broken in 4.x. (Doesn't NS4.x grok html 3.2?) Basically, I have this kind
of html structure:
<table align="center"><tr, td, etc.> <-- contains a bunch of images
<table align="left"><tr, td, etc.> <-- contains a black-border and img
<img etc.>
</td, tr, etc.></table>
<table align="left"><tr, td, etc.> <-- contains a black-border and img
<img etc.>
</td, tr, etc.></table>
</td, tr, etc.></table>
The table align tags are implemented according to the html 3.2 references
(not kosher for NS3, I know, I know).
So, when NS renders this nested table structure, it throws away the outer
align="center" attribute, and truncates the outer table bounds so that it
surrounds just the first image. Any <a> tags outside these new bounds are
disregarded. But -- get this -- all the nested images with their
1-pixel-wide black borders (implemented using sub-tables with a black
bgcolor and cellpadding=1) are rendered prefectly -- even when OUTSIDE the
bounds of the outer table.
The really funny part is when I add <center> tags, NS stops rendering the
</table> tags (yes, just the table end tag), and the whole page craps out.
And then the punchline: it's not consistent. On a page with many of these
table groups, some groups are rendered perfectly while others are rendered
the way I just described. As far as I can tell, the only difference is in
the jpegs.
Any ideas on how I can accomplish what I want so that (a) I use ONE html
source for most browsers, HTML 3.2 preferred, and (b) I can have a centered
collection of images, each image with a 1-pixel black border?
Naturally, any suggestions that people upgrade or change their browsers will
be disregarded. :-,
Cheers,
