A CMS I am using is spitting out the menu in a table which looks a bit like this.

<table>
<tr><td>Item 1</td></tr>
<tr><td>Item 2</td></tr>
</table>

Firefox has no trouble floating tr elements. IE7 is stubborning refusing the CSS love.

I have tried this to no avail

CODE
#top_inner .moduletable table tr {
    width:100px; float:left;
}
#top_inner .moduletable table tr td {
    width:100px; float:left;
}



Any ideas on what I can do to get this working?

The whole structure of a table stops what you're doing from working -- you wouldn't really want to do this.

Are you able to alter the code in the CMS so it puts out divs that you can style with CSS?

I was looking for a CSS solution instead of editing files with php. I will have a look at it.

hmmmm.... I understand this is not your code so I won't comment on how stupid it is to have a menu in a table. I would go in and change that to have the menu in a <ul> then create the css accordingly. wink.gif

IE 7 has also simplified tables, and Firefox mostly treats tables as div tags.
