However, for consistency, you may want to define them for each row. If the given table width is too small for the sum of your columns, Netscape will try to fit them into the given width and will override your column width settings. If this is detrimental to your table, make a space row and put an unbroken string of astericks or any other suitable character in that row. This will force Netscape to behave. If the column contents do not fit into their cell, Netscape will override your settings, usually for height, but will take up any extra room left between table width and the sum of the column widths.
All cells span one row and one column unless overridden.
This final table has a caption, headers, and fancier cell formatting. There is one fewer column in the header row. That is the short column on the left. If you do not do this, the headers will be moved over. Helpful Links For a really detailed look at Table coding, examine the Netscape Tables Page and Netscape Table Sampler .
