Nested table is invisible or displayed very large in Internet Explorer 9

Consider the following scenario:

• You open a webpage in Windows Internet Explorer 9.
• The webpage contains multiple TABLE elements that are nested.�
• The inner tables have the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) table-layout property set to fixed. Additionally, the inner tables have the CSS width�property set to a percentage. For example, the property is set to�width:100%.

In this case, the inner table is invisible or displayed�as�very large.

This issue occurs because the calculation of the offset and width of the inner table and its cells is computed incorrectly. A negative offset causes an invisible inner table, and a large offset causes a large-width inner table.
