Thanks again, but after trying several similar things with strange or, most of the time, strangely no results I decided something must be overriding the style I was trying to apply. After disabling 5(!) different style sheets with the web developer add-on for Firefox with no luck I found this problematic bit of html: <table style="table-layout: auto;".......I found this page describing how to override inline styles and ended up with this:@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);@-moz-document domain("forums.thedailywtf.com") {table[style]{ table-layout: auto !important;}}By the way there is a master Mozilla style sheet somewhere that you can edit for the same effect if any one is interested in googling it. I still don't see why that would prevent things like img{width:10px} or img{overflow:auto} from working, why they anyone would apply a style that makes images unreadable, or why this doesn't seem to bother any one else, but web design has to be one of the least interesting things I could try to learn atm so I guess this is good enough for me.Thanks again for replies :)
