To lovers of Opera browser and standards on the Net
www.unixsucks.com:
Here is simple HTML which works fine (WIDTH TAG of TD element) in Mozilla, IE, Netscape but not in Opera. Where is that lovers of standards on Internet attacking Opera? I don't hear your voices.
<HTML>
<body>
<table width="100%" border="1">
<tr>
<td colspan><font size = 30>Site Information</font></TD><TD colspan =2>Extra Info</TD>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="20%">Menu</td>
<td valign="top" colspan=2>Main window</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</HTML>

I don't know about the width tag in Oprah but I see absolutely no need for any of the colspan tags in this example. Reminds me of something FrontPage would spit out...
www.unixsucks.com:
Actual example is much more complicated (i have a third row with 3 different size cells).
I just cut it it down where this absurd behavior occurs. And thank you I don't use FrontPage, my favourire editor is Notepad.

That's good, you get extra credit for using notepad over FrontPage (seriously). If you haven't tried it (maybe you have), you might learn to like "vim" or "gvim" for Windows. It makes a very good HTML, ASP, PHP, Perl, C, etc, editor.
It may seem a little cryptic at first but it makes life much easier once you learn it. It has syntax highlighting that helps you quickly spot errors in your code as you type it. It has very powerful editing capabilities. You probably have used it, but I would suggest giving it a second chance if you have some spare time to play with it:

Well, I like convenience and coding in Notepad is not my favourite (I'm talking .NET coding, c#, etc) apart from plain HTML.
I'll be missing Intellisense, Watch windows, Debugger, Object Viewer etc.
