Thanks RobG - sorry about the layout - I didn't send it like it appeared. I didn't notice the missing tr tags and wouldn't have thought of the tbody + id solution.

Even allowing for accidental omission of the opening table tag, there is no tr tag in the tfoot element so you are depending on error correction - all bets are off as to the DOM structure that will result from that. > Is there a way to satisfy the interpretation of all three browsers? Yes, use valid markup. You will then discover that Firefox does what Safari and IE are doing - duplicating the last row of the tfoot (which is the last row of the table). To fix that, add tbody tags in the markup and move the table's id to the tbody. -- Rob
