colspan-problem with mozilla

hi,

I am having a problem with colspan's in Mozilla (Netscape).

with my understanding of colspan
the following table is supposed to look like that:

IE6:

+-------------------------------------------------+-----+
| this is a long long long ... headline | ? |
+-----------+-------------------------------------+-----+
| customer: | <input type="text"... |
+-----------+-------------------------------------------+
| domain: | <input type="text"... |
+-----------+-------------------------------------------+

with mozilla 1.3 (or 1.4a/galeon) it looks like this:

+-------------------------------+-----------------------+
| this is a long ... headline | ? |
+-------------------------------+-----------------------+
| customer: | <input type="text"... |
+-------------------------------+-----------------------+
| domain: | <input type="text"... |
+-------------------------------+-----------------------+

here is the source:

<html>
<head>
<title>Mozill a table-test</title>
<style type="text/css">
table {
width: 80%;
border: 1px solid yellow;
}
table tr td, table tr th {
border: 1px solid orange;
background-color: #C0C0C0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<table align="center">
<tr class="header">
<th colspan="2">thi s is  a long&nbs p;long lon g long&nbs p;long hea dline</th>
<th align="right">
<span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold">?</span>
</th>
</tr>
<tr class="one">
<td width="10%">cus tomer:</td>
<td colspan="2">
<input type="text" name="customer" size="50"/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr class="two">
<td>domain:</td>
<td colspan="2">
<input type="text" name="domain" size="50"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

</body>
</html>

what am I missing?

thanks,
