Hello Alex,
	I have been constructing a lot of pages with tables and nested
	tables. My tests with MSIE3 and 4 and CAB 2.7 make me think
	that CAB 2.7 does not correctly support the <TD WIDTH=?> and
	<TD WIDTH="%"> tags. 
	
	Attached below is some source I have constructed for nested tables.
	CAB indicates that no structural errors exist.
	
	I have removed "Blocks" 3 to 9 because it is a repetition of code.
	My concern is in the use of, for example:
	
     <table width="100%">
       <td width="100%">
          Situated at beautiful Cloudy Bay,			 
          which is known for its changing		            
          moods and magical scenery.
        <td width=252>
          <IMG src="cloudy_3.jpg" alt="Cabin" border="1">
     </table>
     
	My interpretation of the relative table cell size in HTML may of
	course be wrong, however at work we test with IE4/5 and Netscape 3/4.
	Both of these appear to handle the following nested table structures
	without problems. CAB seems to have big problems with relative cell
	sizes, such as that shown above which uses a table of the full window
	width, text in the first cell which will be the balance of the page
	width minus 252 for the image in the second cell. On MSIE this displays
	as I would expect. With an 800 pixel window width. MSIE would have
	548 pixel wide window for the text in the first cell and a 252 pixel
	wide window for the 252 pixel wide JPEG image. Where as CAB insists of having something
	like a approx. 350 wide cell for the image that is defined absolutely
	and the images shown within is still the required 252 wide. This makes
	table formatting look very bad. The text block in the first cell is
	also much narrower than the difference between 800 and 252.
	
	If this is not a deficiency of CAB please explain to me how I can
	expect to get an image to load into a table cell exactly with no
	surrounding space alond each side of the image and still have the
	remainder of the page width (in relative mode, assuming the actual
	browser window size is unknown)	filled out completely with text.

	Any advice would be greatly appreciated, otherwise I will have
	to do my development requiring tables on a PC running IE and Netscape
	to be sure that the tables look right under those dominant browsers.

	On another note, will we be seeing that JSCRIPT.OVL becoming available
	any time soon?
