Variable Column Widths On Tables

Hi there,

When displaying information for my players I'm pretty table heavy. I've noticed that using more than one table on a wiki page causes variable column widths that are sometimes so wide they make easy digestion of the information tricky. Here's an example : http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/joyous-desecration/wikis/cha...

I did check around to see if I could find this issue reported elsewhere, or whether there was a common workaround to get the tables to behave (I notice that the tables lowest down have a narrower column width, and I was wondering whether I could trigger that).

I use the Ubuntu Hardy Heron operating system, and have seen this issue on Google Chrome and Firefox.

    Not a solution for the variable column widths, but I find borders and shades titles help with information digestion.

    Try this:

    table{border:1px solid black}.
    |. Row1 |. Row2 |_. Row3 | |1|2|3| |1|2|3| |1|2|3| |1|2|3|
