Yes indeed, when an element is given any width, and it is
next to a left float, IE5.x/win treats the space next to the
float as tho it was part of the body margin, and treats that
space as '100%'. But you have opposing floats, and a table
between as well. This is going to force me to rethink my
upcomming demo on this subject. (I knew there was a reason
why I was dragging my... um, I mean, 'delaying the project')
Try nesting the table inside a non-width defined div.
(I have a funny feeling this won't work)
HTH?
