I am trying to convert <td width="*"> to CSS, but all the sources I could
find that give the syntax for the CSS width property say that you must
specify a length, percentage, auto, or inherit. I also noticed that the
Style Builder dialog in Visual Studio 2005 does not let me enter an * for
the width property (not to say that this isn't an error in VS2005, but it
makes me wonder if an * is valid or not for CSS). How would I convert <td
width="*"> to CSS? Thanks.
 
Hi Nathan,

Width="*" is pretty much the default for any element, so you really
shouldn't ever need to specify it. However, it makes sense only when all
other elements in the same table/element have their width explicitly set
(either as fixed values or percentages). You should make sure that you have
you have a width defined for your outer element however.
