CSS issue or some thing I have to do on xsl? The tabular pages use an HTML table to lay out the webpages as a one-row two-column table. The left column is the navigational list, and the rest of the webpage content is in the right column. The navtocwidth value is inserted as a 'width' attribute in the left table cell element <TD>. Since HTML tables are dynamically formatted, I think the browser uses 'width' as a suggestion, rather than a fixed value. The other content can affect the final width of columns as they are drawn on the screen. And as you found, different browsers handle it differently. I don't know how you can control a column width absolutely in HTML for all browsers.
