I have a table:
<table border=1>
<caption>This is a table.</caption>
<tr>
<th>One</th>
<th>Two</th>
<th>Three</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Four</td>
<td>Five</td>
<td>Six</td>
</tr>
</table>
and I want it to be as wide as possible while still leaving a 20px margin on each side. So, I did this:
table{
border-collapse:collapse;
margin:20px;
padding:0;
width:100%;
}
but it ends up being the width of the parent plus an extra 20px margin on the left, causing a vertical scroll bar to appear. Is there any way to make it 40px less than the parent's width without adding another element to surround it?
