Your vertical pink neon graphic is 436px wide. That's why it's wide. |
It's supposed to be. I guess some clarification is in order. This page is a simple message board, with alternate posts having alternating neon frames. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like (when rendered properly in FF):

You really should be using div classes instead of tables. I'm not actually sure how you'd code a table cell with a flexible width.

While I've posted just a snippet of the
html - which was all that was needed to demonstrate the problem, the actual page is dynamic (
php) and is generated from a MySql database. The structure of each post would make using DIVs a nightmare, IMO, as I would need multiple layers of wrappers and would start to run into IE's float bug (and probably others). Still, if I can't get to the bottom of what's going on here, I may have no other choice.

If you used div classes you'd have have just a snippet of that graphic as the div background and repeat-x. Then it would just fill up whatever the cell width is and not make it a mandatory 436 in width.

That's what I'm using for the side neon elements (only with repeat-y) and I think that's what IE is choking on. I don't need to use a div background with repeat-x since it's a fixed width table.
