Now that pushes the left cell smaller than 298. I would have thought
that would have worked too (I thought in fact it was already set to
that and it wasn't).

For your perusal - the full code for the whole row. Bear in mind I
didn't write this, so please don't comment on the awful style. This
row is not a nested table, its the second of two rows and thats all
the table is.

<TR CLASS='tdDark'>
      <TD WIDTH="298" HEIGHT=0 VALIGN="middle" align="center"
CLASS='tdDark' id="collapseCell">
      <a href="javascript: collapseViewers();"

Tree and Viewer.'; return true;" onMouseOver="status='Toggle Virtual
