[Wylug-help] very simple HTML table colwidth issie

[Simon Greenwood]

Hi -

The table header and the table data have to be within the same table or
they don't know about each other. You can use divs inside the table to
define styles. IE is probably more fast and loose with this that Firefox
and Chrome are. If they don't match up after that then you may have to
fiddle with padding and colspans.
