The percentage is percentage of a table, screen size, etc. If you say <table width="50%"> You are saying to make the table 50% of the screen width. Different people have different # of pixels in their width. This is where the difference comes in. [Here is where people tell you not to use tables to lay out stuff, put it in the CSS]. The default numbers are pixels (I don't know if this behavior can be changed). cheers, -- http://kimbriggs.com
