Max, are you kidding me?! This what you will expect as a human :) But
practice is little bit different.
Try this in Mozilla or IE :)))))))

If you will put here %%
<table width="500">
   <tr>
     <td width="100" id="1"></td>
     <td width="100%%" id="2"></td>
     <td width="200" id="3"></td>
   </tr>
</table>

You will get exactly yours "In this case cell 1 will span 100 pixels, and
cell 3 will span 200. Cell
2 will use up what is left."
