get containing table width

[Marc Lambrichs]

I want to dynamically (cross-browser) read the width of the table a td
element belongs to. Any ideas?

Cheers,

Assuming
<td id="idTableCell " ...>
then

var WidthOfTable =
document.getEle mentById("idTab leCell").offset Parent.offsetWi dth;

should work in MSIE 6 for Windows in standards compliant rendering mode,
Mozilla-based browsers (17 browsers) and Opera 7.x
