IE8 has proper support for CSS table, and older IE versions can be "tricked"... <http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/moa_11h.html> However, problems arise when one wants source-ordering, table behavior and "old IE trickery" all at once in a self-adjusting layout. Neither HTML table nor CSS table permits real source-ordering, so you'll probably end up with a complex solution to a small problem. I don't think it's worth it for anything but "proof of concept" cases. In real life I would forget source-ordering, and use a regular HTML table for a case like yours, to achieve optimal fluidity without premature wrapping, while avoiding problems with older IE versions' lack of CSS table support. You also have to take into account that text can/will be resized, which in itself will complicate things enough if your case is supposed to work across browser-land and various end-user options. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
