However, neither FF2 or Safari 3.1.2 seem to do exactly what you said (both are more annoying) Safari makes the whole thing the width of about 10 pages and only puts a scrollbar on the middle one. (Extends first and third to end of content) FF2 keeps the right cell width, but neglects to put a scrollbar on the third cell (clipping the content, though you can still select it blindly) Cheers! ~ Marshal Horn http://sotabot.com webmaster since May 6th, 2008
