Richtext tables...

Hi,

I recognized a slightly different behaviour in using
richtext tables inside a QTextView widget. In Qt2 it was
able to define fixed cell widths, the same code in Qt3
seems to ignore this setting.

Richtext source looks like the following lines:

---snip---

<table border=1 bgcolor=lightgrey cellspacing=1 width=90%>
<tr>
<td width=50>some short text</td>
<td width=200>some short text</td>
</tr>
</table>

<table border=1 bgcolor=lightgrey cellspacing=1 width=90%>
<tr>
<td width=50>some longer text</td>
<td width=200>some longer text</td>
</tr>
</table>

---snap---

Maybe I`m wrong or doing something nasty ;) but can 
anybody reproduce this and give me hint

Thanks

cu
Marcus

You are specifying the width of the table in terms of the total width
available, and you're defining the width of each column as a fixed pixel
size. Either setting always contradicts the other unless the available
viewport is exactly 278 pixels wide.

I am no expert at which setting overrides which, but your markup is
unfortunately illegal :/

Greetings,
Arne
