Sorry.. hang on
Solet: in the css, use tr#status-table
Try it anyway

[autos06]

Nope
Does it need a space between tr and #status-table?

[optomeb]

Shouldn't

[autos06]

And does it make any difference that i put the colgroups in?

[optomeb]

I've never really used that to be honest

[froomzer]

Are you sure that you can style columns that way?
I'm almost certain you can do very few things
Since "columns" are not properly part of the dom
In a way that makes sense
Or at least makes sense for the purposes of css and inheritance
Oh
And your selectors are wrong
#status-table td

[autos06]

Yeah i just figured it out
Thanks tho

[optomeb]

What did ya do?

[autos06]

I didnt understand any of your attack on colgroups so i'm leaving them in... maybe some day i'll ask about it... but for now i'm too timepressed to care
optomeb: #status-table td

[froomzer]

I was asking if that actually did anything...
Or did anything consistently in browsers
It seems it would be better (and more x-browser) simply to attach those ids to the header tds
Also you're missing important table things like caption, tbody, and thead
