Re: table-layout=fixed

[Chuck Paussa <Ch...@systems.dhl.com>]

Gabor,

Here's some sample code. Notice the use of  proportional-column-width() 
That allows you to do your percentage column widths. 
proportional-column-width allows you to proportion the widths of those 
columns not defined by a fixed width. You also need to designate the 
width of the table in the table tag.
