Also, like I said in my earlier post, changing the width of the first element in the table slightly suddenly makes Arachne display it just like in Mozilla, which IMO is what it should probably look like. Also, I think the web browser is supposed to wrap text that does not fit in one line automatically, but not where Arachne does it - it should wrap the text so that it matches the width of the table. If *you* do not believe *me*, then simply look at the posts with Mozilla or another so-called "standard" browser, and you will note the difference between how those browsers display them and your "fixed" version. The basic problem is that web pages are designed to display fine in IE and Mozilla, and if the Arachne user has to manually change them to make them display fine in Arachne, too, it won't do Arachne any good. Just like with the problem with '&' in URLs, even if you strongly feel that it is a bug in the HTML text of those web pages, most people who know IE or Mozilla would rather say that it is a bug in Arachne. So please do the Arachne community a favour and change this, okay? Otherwise Arachne will earn a reputation of not being able to display even simple web pages correctly.
