Re: [css-d] last-child problems....
Ok, here is a description of what's happening in each browser with each setting: With the last-child ENABLED: In IE6, everything looks normal. In FF, all of the column widths go haywire...reload a coupla time and get different results each time. Often many of the columns get extended past the edge of the viewable table. I tried to pad the last column and it works for getting the column out from behind the scrollbar in FF, but in IE, it adds an extra scrollbar to the bottom and shifts the last column. With the last-child DISABLED: In IE6, everything looks normal. In FF, the final column (438) is hidden behind the scroll bar) In IE7, the entire scrollable section is hosed...badly.I know it has to do with the htmlbody but I don't know how to handle the issue. I tried someone's suggestion of changing one my htmlbody div.tableContainer to html* body div.tableContainer and that didn't help any. I am stumped...I don't know enough about CSS yet to understand exactly what I need to do to here.but I am trying to learn!!!

Given that the results tables are being generated out of PHP, why not have the last table header/cell generated with a 'last' class (or something similar)? __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

Sasha, Yes, I agree...I have gone thru and cleaned up the html and passed the XHTML 1.0 validation.

FWIW: I would seriously recommend using valid HTML markup before correcting errors in your CSS declarations. I'm assuming that those errors reported by the CSS validation tool you are using are occuring because you are validating against CSS 2.1 or below. The pseudo-element 'last-child' does not exist until CSS 3[1].
