cell movement when scroll bars appear

[snowboardr]

In firefox, some cells move around when I have a javascript open a cell using

document.getElementById('thecellid').style.display="";

Its because the scrollbars appear, however in IE the cells don't move. I know that you must put your cells to PT instead of % but I can't do that in this situation, because my table takes up 100% screen width

You might be able to use the overflow property to prevent the scrollbars from appearing depending on how your table is setup. I assume the cell you speak of contains a span or div, that would be where the scrollbar is appearing, as part of that span/div container and push the height/width of the cell by the number of pixels the scrollbars use which varies browser to browser. If you can set the overflow property to none for that container it will not let the scrollbars appear.
