I've been wrestling with this problem for a bit, and have come to the conclusion that I can go no further without help from thelist.
The following HTML works smashingly in the newest IE and Moz browsers, yet IE 5.5 has a big problem with it. I'll do a quick paste of it, then explain my intentions:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body>
<div style="margin-right:200px;border:1px solid red;">
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="1" width="100%">
<tr>
<td>This should obey the 200px right margin.</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I've used every doctype from 4.01 transitional to XHTML Strict to no avail, in IE 5.5, the tables spans 100% of the _screen_ and not the DIV that it's contained within (the desired effect).
It's a requirement that the table within the div span 100% of the div, and that the div have a right margin of x pixels. The borders are simply to reveal how the browser is rendering the div and table.
Any ideas?
