[thelist] N6 and Percents

[Adam Slesinger]

Hey everyone,

N6 has opened my eyes to a lot of poor coding that I have done in the past.  
Where IE would just assume it knew what you meant when you forgot a closing 
tag, Netscape just won't show the table cell.  I hated this at first, now I 
appreciate it.

I found that N6 for some reason does not like percentages when it comes to 
image and table properties.  Has anybody else noticed this?  In N4.x and IE 
4.x and 5.x, I used code like <table width="100%" height="100%"> and it 
would work as expected.  N6 seems to ignore this coding and not expand the 
table to the far edges of the screen. Also, when I use code like <td 
width="100%">, it just doesn't show the table cell at all until I remove the 
percentage, or at least replace it with a fixed pixel amount!  Hmmmm, is 
this poor coding, or a bug with N6.  I'm curious because N4.x doesn't do the 
same thing.

Tons of comments and ideas welcome! =]
