(but currently not possible) It's possible, and pretty simple. You just use the solution from the wiki, where you style the COL and IE picks it up, and use adjacent siblings for standards-complient browsers. Then, to get different styling for the tables on different pages, either give the different tables different class names (e.g., table class="features", table class="cart", etc.) or use classes on the body element so you can do other context-sensitive styling for different areas of the site as well. It's a little bit more CSS, but it gets the job done without wading into the conceptual impossibility that is trying to force table cells to inherit from a COL or COLGROUP. -- "May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house." -- George Carlin __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

Does anybody have any experience with this? I once read through a long and protracted Mozilla bug report on this which I'm currently unable to locate; IIRC the problem, conceptually, is that individual table cells are not actually children of the COLGROUP or COL; as a result, they don't inherit properties from COLGROUPs and COLs in an intuitive way. And Philippe is right that IE is buggy -- CSS2 is very explicit on the matter of which properties may be set on a COLGROUP or COL and be applied to their cells: 'border', 'background', 'width' and 'visibility'. -- "May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house." -- George Carlin __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

Floating it > turns it straight back into a block! :) Floating an element and giving it a margin in the same direction (e.g., float right with right margin or float left with left margin) triggers a bug in IE which will double the size of the rendered margin. Setting 'display: inline' causes IE to calculate the margin correctly, while not affecting anything else. -- "May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house." -- George Carlin __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

Since, as Jesper's pointed out, there's already a page on the wiki which touches on this (http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=StyleSwitching), why don't we just put together a comprehensive list there?

'input img.submit' means "An tag inside an tag, where
the tag has 'submit' as its class". What you want is
'input.submit', which means "an tag with 'submit' as its
class".
