Why won't firefox interpret my html correctly?
code excerpt:
<table class="page">
<tr class="banner">
<td class="banner" colspan="5">banner </td>
</tr>
<tr class="buttons">
<td class="button" colspan="2">button </td>
<td class="button" colspan="1">button </td>
<td class="button" colspan="2">button </td>
</tr>
<tr class="content">
<td class="sideBorder" colspan="1"></td>
<td class="main" colspan="3"> content</td>
<td class="sideBorder" colspan="1"></td>
</tr>
<tr class="bottomBorder">
<td class="bottomBorder" colspan="5"> bottom</td>
</tr>
</table>
Currently I just have the stylesheets set to fill in the background colors of the cells.
Firefox lines up mismatched columns. The edges of the "button" cells are matching the edges of the "sideBorder" cells despite the fact that that the "button" cells are supposed to be wider by one column. IE lines up the cells properly.
How do I get Firefox to interpret my code correctly? I am using HTML 4.01 strict (it validates as such. No code errors).
Overall each row is supposed to have the same number of columns (5), but individual columns should not line up from row to row.

A look at your code shows that, according to your colspans, all your <tr>'s should be the same width...
1st <tr> = colspan of 5=5
2nd <tr> = colspan of 2+1+2=5
3rd <tr> = colspan of 1+1+3=5
4th <tr> = colspan of 5=5

I get the same results in both IE and Firefox. I would double check your css.
