Re: CSS and Tables

[Chris <listschris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe, for IE (though I haven't tested it) this would work:

table.table1 > tbody > tr > td { css here; }

I think IE assumes a tbody, even when there isn't one specified.

table.table1 td { css here; }

Would also do fairly well, but , since this would apply to all tds 
within the table tag (even the cells of any embedded tables) may require 
some creative spefification of values to work properly
