In summary, the speaker is asking for help with a table alignment issue on a webpage they are creating. They have noticed that when opened in Firefox, the last column drops down to the second line, while in other browsers it looks fine. They are wondering if someone can explain why this is happening and if they can provide a solution.

Hi, everyone, don't be mad about me. I am a tempered man too! I just want to be cool around with some questions. Perhaps I won't ask for something that people want to take away or never want to give. I have not been realising that even when you don't want to, I can not do anything else than just keep silent with my own problems, right ? It's alright for me and here is my question on a webpage I am trying to make.
I put a table of 5 cols and 1 row on top of the page as a menu, I find that table in my page if opened with iexplore and safari looks fine horizontally but with firefox, another line feed is added and the last col is dropped down to the second line, something wrong about the alignment I am yet to find out a cause.

Could someone tell me why ?

Can you put the source code here. From what I understand is that 5th column is coming in the second line but you want all 5 columns in one line.

Width is likely the issue here. Just try

<table style="width:100%">

<tr>

<td>1</td>
<td>2</td>
<td>3</td>
<td>4</td>
<td>5</td>

</tr>
</table>

Thanks, I will try it later because I am not at home now.
 

1. Why is my table in Firefox not aligned properly?

This issue is most likely caused by differences in how different browsers interpret and render HTML and CSS. Firefox may handle table alignment differently than other browsers, resulting in misaligned tables.

2. How can I fix the table alignment issue in Firefox?

One solution is to use CSS to specify a specific table layout and alignment, rather than relying on default settings. You can also try using a CSS reset to ensure consistency across browsers.

3. Can I use a table alignment hack to fix the issue in Firefox?

While there may be some CSS hacks that can fix the issue in Firefox, they are not recommended as they can cause compatibility issues and may not work in future versions of the browser.

4. Is there a specific version of Firefox that is more prone to table alignment issues?

There is no specific version of Firefox that is more prone to this issue. However, it is always recommended to test your website on multiple versions of Firefox to ensure compatibility.

5. Will fixing the table alignment issue in Firefox affect the alignment in other browsers?

It is possible that fixing the issue in Firefox may result in slight changes to the table alignment in other browsers. It is important to thoroughly test your website on different browsers to ensure consistent alignment.
