I agree with aardvark. You need quotes. But beyond that, this was
the very subject of an exchange I had on Evolt & with iCab programmer
Alexander Clauss, as iCab frowns on TD's set in percentages.
According to Clauss, TD width as a percentage was not "okay" until a
second revision of HTML4.01. (I'm not much of a DTD reader, myself.)
But, unlike iCab, the W3C validator has not had a problem with my
using percentages in TD's. (HTML4 loose).
But I have always quoted percentages. And now I quote all
attributes. It doesn't hurt and it's forward-looking. XHTML requires
it.
use quotes.
