The problem is in my CSS file:

* {
    font-size: 8px;
    float: left;
  }

The universal property makes a simple HTML table (loaded later) render in one line. What’s a good way to prevent this from happening without bothering my (imo) elegant CSS too much?


edit:
I have tried changing the style property of the returned table to look like

style="float: none;"

but the table elements still default to floating left… I’m not exactly clear on the precedence of the css file vs style attributes.

    Um. A way would be to.. not float everything. That is not elegant.

    If you want a quick solution, probably table { float:none; } table * { float:none; }
