<meta name="assert" content="A cell in the first row with specified non-auto 'width' sets the width for its column in the absence of a column element with specified non-auto width. This test checks the 'border-collapse: collapse' model with non-zero symetrical horizontal cell padding and with one non-zero horizontal cell border." />
<style type="text/css"><![CDATA[

border-collapse: collapse;
table-layout: fixed;
width: 400px;

In the fixed table layout algorithm, the width of each column is determined as follows:
(...) a cell in the first row with a value other than 'auto' for the 'width' property determines the width for that column. (...)
Any remaining columns equally divide the remaining horizontal table space (minus borders or cell spacing).

Middle column width calculations
--------------------------------
36px : half of border-left since such border must be split with cell in 1st column
+
24px : padding-left of the cell in the middle column
+
80px : width of the cell in the middle column
+
24px : padding-right of the cell in the middle column
=======
164px : width of the middle column
So,
400px : table set width
-
164px : width of the middle column
======
236px
So, each of the 2 remaining columns must be
half of such extra horizontal table space,
which is 236px divided by 2 == 118px.
1st column width calculations
-----------------------------
24px : padding-left of cell in 1st column
+
(solve) : width of cell in 1st column
+
24px : padding-right of cell in 1st column
+
36px : half of border-left of cell in middle column
since such border must be split with cell in 1st column
======
118px : width of 1st column
So, the width of the cell in first column must be exactly 34px.
3rd column width calculations
-----------------------------
24px : padding-left of cell in 3rd column
+
(solve) : width of cell in 3rd column
+
24px : padding-right of cell in 3rd column
=======
118px : width of 3rd column
So, the width of the cell in 3rd column must be exactly 70px.
Finally, the precise horizontal point where the border-right of cell
in first column begins to be drawn, painted is:
24px : padding-left of cell in 1st column
+
34px : width of cell in 1st column
+
24px : padding-right of cell in 1st column
=======
82px
Therefore the margin-left: 82px value of the div#reference.
