Thanks, I've tried that, but it only stretches the nested table to fit
the outer table bloated size.
I've found another reason that makes the parent cell stretch in
firefox, it's the third row left and right cells that have a width of
20%, if i remove the width specifier the outer cells shrinks to the
same size as in opera, ie.

I keep hearing that firefox is the most standard compliant browser,
but it gave me nothing but headaches thus far...

The thumbnail is smaller, but I've set the div container to be 100%
height and width of the cell it's in.
