Hi everyone,

Working on an app for work and dealing with a colspan issue in IE 7.0, and judging by some searches I’ve done it’s relevant for older versions of IE. I’m working on a calendar app, and I generally stray away from tables so this is all kind of new to me.

I have a table which is full of cells that span multiple columns, anywhere from 2 to 14. In IE the text in the cell gets stuck in the first “cell” even though the cell doesn’t really exist in that fashion. In Firefox everything works great, but IE wrecks it. I have some cells that have a lot of data in it and when that all gets stuck in one cell it just turns into a huge garbled mess.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
