We're not in quirks mode. The div block should inherit the container box
size is my understanding, after having a little reread of the box model docs
I still think that is how it should work. In both FF2 and IE6 the div
inherited the container (td) width when the contained text expands the block
(which is how it should work), in IE7 the behaviour seems to have changed.

Perhaps *you* should think a little before shooting off your mouth ;-), if
you have something to contribute then thanks, otherwise perhaps stick to
areas you know.

cheers,
