hmmm...

works fine for me. The tables go right out to the browser's edge.

winNT 4.0 / IE 5.5

<tip type="testing tricks" author="someone else from this list :) seemed
appropriate here though.">
You can toggle tables on and off in IE by creating a special bookmark.

1. add a new bookmark (any url will do)
2. go to 'edit bookmarks' and select the new bookmark. right click on it and
choose 'properties'
3. enter the following in the url field:
"javascript:for(i=0;i<document.all.length;i++)if(document.all[i].tagName=='T
ABLE')void(document.all[i].border=(document.all[i].border=='0')?'1':'0');"
4. optionally, you can specify a short-cut key. mine is [Ctrl][Alt][t].
