[thelist] Quick HTML question: table and column widths

Hi all,
A quick question. Suppose I have a table in which all the columns have pixel
widths, but the parent table doesn't have a specified width:
<div align="right">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td width="100">blah blah</td>
<td width="50">narrower</td>
<td width="150">wider</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
Is it safe to assume that this will always render exactly as if I had
specified width="300" in my table tag? i.e. will the table width default to
the sum of the widths of the columns?
It looks OK in IE, but I'm wondering if this is standards-based behaviour or
whether it's IE-specific...
Jason
