Using COL in Firefox

Hello all!

I'm building a large CMS system for a client and having been using COL to make life easier with table styles and attributes. However, I just discovered that firefox completely ignores the definitions I've used for COL's.

Is that normal, or have I goofed somewhere?

Code:
<table border=0 cellpadding=3 cellspacing=1 width=100% class=datatable>
<col class=dataleft width=170>
<col class=dataleft width=200>
<col class=dataleft>
<col class=datacenter>
<col class=datacenter>
<thead>
<tr>
<td>Rank</td>
<td>Menu Name</td>
<td>Description</td>
<td>Approved</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tr>
<td><%=rs("rank")%></td>
<td><%=rs("menu_name")%></td>
<td><nobr><%=rs("name")%></nobr></td>
<td><input type="checkbox" value="true" style="height: 15px"></td>
</tr>
</table>

This all works great in IE, which is all the client will be using, so it's fine. But I was surprised it didn't work with firefox?

Hi,

Maybe you can try using it with the "colgroup" tag eg

<colgroup>
<col ....>
<col ...>
</colgroup>

Also you have to close the tag in xhtml, but shouldn't in HTML (but I may have that back to front!)

Cheers,
Paz.

If the list at w3schools is updated and we assume that Firefox is similar to NN, Firefox doesn't support col or colgroup.

BTW, I discovered that it does work in firefox if I use an inline style setting:

<COL style=".....">

But it doesn't work in firefox if I specify a class:

<COL class="...">

Wierd, eh?

I've sent an email to Arthur C. Clarke for comment.
