Ok then,
IBrowse V2.2 Demo reders it just like your .jpg screenshot.
Microsoft IE5.5, Netscape 4.7 & Opera 4.02 all render it as the
screenshot except that they only grid lines where there is something
in the cell. ie you end up with something like:
+--------+--------+--------+
| Cell 1 | Cell 3 | Cell 3 |
+--------+--------+--------+
| |
| +--------+ |
| | Wibble | |
| +--------+ |
| |
+--------+--------+--------+
This may or may not be a problem. If you want to show the grid to be
shown just stick the afore mentioned in any cell with no other
text.
The only other browser I've tried it in is Netscape 6 Preview 2 and that
made a total mess of it. Mind you, it seems to make a total mess of
everything so I wouldn't read too much into that.
On a separate point, none of your <TD> tags have closing </TD> tags.
Technially they are optional, but it is always a good idea to include
them.
