title: How to fix Microsoft Edge displaying incorrect table cell widths when child element with defined width is within a cell with a colspan?
body: <p>Pretty hard to explain, but easier to show via <a href="https://jsfiddle.net/zdb47t1L/1/" rel="noreferrer">JSFiddle</a></p>
  
  <p>I have a <code>table</code> with 3 cells:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  &lt;table class="table"&gt;
      &lt;tr&gt;
        &lt;td style="background:blue;width:60%;"&gt;Some text for 1st cell&lt;/td&gt;
        &lt;td style="width:40%;background:red;"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;/tr&gt;
      &lt;tr&gt;
        &lt;td colspan="2" style="width:100%;background:yellow;"&gt;&lt;div style="width:400px;"&gt;
        test
        &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;/tr&gt;
    &lt;/table&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The <code>table</code> has a <code>width</code> of 100%:</p>
  
  <pre><code>.table {
    width:100%;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When a child element with a defined <code>width</code> is placed within the bottom cell which has a <code>colspan</code>, Microsoft Edge displays the incorrect <code>width</code>s for the top cells. </p>
  
  <p>They should be showing like this:</p>

  <p>Unfortunately, Microsoft edge is showing it like this:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/E7LB3.jpg" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/E7LB3.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>Removing the child element (or its <code>width</code>) and everything is fine again.</p>
  
  <p>How do I fix this problem? I need to keep the <code>table</code> widths as percentages and the child element as a fixed <code>width</code>.</p>
