Minor table issue NS to IE

[ghornet]

My issue is when creating a table is that when using IE I need to create a table that is 5px wide to fit just right, but in NS the table needs to be 7px to look right. What is the easiest way to do this, I can sniff for the browser to determine which one it is, but it is the easiest way to switch how many pixels wide the table is with a document.write? Or is there another way. Basically what is the easiest way to fix minor table differences between the two browsers.

There's not much to go on here...but have you considered a transparent image to help with display layout?

You might try adding this to the style:

table{table-layout:fixed}

I think this makes IE put the border on the inside of the box...

if you're not concerned with it validating, you can use the SPACER tag - NS will implement it, IE will ignore:

<spacer type=block width=7>

fyi, you can also specify the height of the spacer as well, though this does not seem relevant to your example.

Have you considered not using tables for layout? :D *polishes his CSS crusader battle axe*

Here is what it looks like in IE 5.1.6 on a MAC.....for MAC OS 8.6 to 9x......

The rest of it gets rendered at the bottom of the page where you can't see it at all until you scroll down. I can give you screen shots of Mozilla, NS 7, and NS4x for MAC if you want.
