HTML Table problem... this has plagued me for too long...

[rjlohan]

I am having a prob with HTML tables.

I want a table to be split into cells like:
[Code]
___________
|_____|____|
|__|__|__|__|
|_____|____|
|_____|____|


So a row of 2 cols, then 4 cols, then 2 cols, then 2 cols.

Simple enough, but when I define this table, I have a problem where the row of 4 cols goes wider than the rows of 2 cols.

See: http://www.endeavour.net.au/join.asp to see what I mean.


This didn't used to happen, but seems to happen in all my tables these days... what is the problem?

<table width="75%>
  <tr>
    <td colspan="2"></td>
    <td colspan="2"></td>
  </tr>
  <tr><td></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr>
  <tr>
    <td colspan="2"></td>
    <td colspan="2"></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td colspan="2"></td>
    <td colspan="2"></td>
  </tr>
</table>

I didn't really look at the page you provided, but that should be the basics of it.

That's the one.
