  • 0

Wondering if it is possible to somehow specify a table cell’s width in the form of a percentage less than 1%. In XHTML 1.0 strict, without the use of CSS.

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr valign="middle">
<td width="70%">..</td>
<td width="0.5%"></td>
<td width="0.5%"></td>
<td width="29%">..</td>
</tr>
</table>

Is this possible? Is it valid? Does it work cross-platform? Anyone know of a way? When I attempt to use the code above, it appears to interpret 5% and not a half percent.

The template will be for consumption in email clients, not a web browser.

    You could try taking the middle two at 0.5% and making a single TD at 1%. Then put a table inside at 100% and have two TD’s each at 50%.

    <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr valign="middle">
<td width="70%">..</td>
<td width="1%">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr valign="middle">
<td width="50%"></td>
<td width="50%"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<td width="29%">..</td>
</tr>
</table>
