THat's not interesting. That's life, and it's usually the symptom of poor
table construction.

If you want to fix it, you'll have to reveal your code.

IE for the Mac is different than IE for the PC. They are not identical
browsers.

"funky shifting on the pc"
What kind of BS useless info is that?
If you want people to help, the least you can do is to tell *which* IE
on *which* Mac OS you're using, right?
Then tell *which* other browsers you've been testing in.
Then you might go trough the trouble of actually revealing what exactly
it is that's different.

The page looks fine to me in IE6/W2KPro.

The only things I could comment on would be the following -

1. The doctype is broken on this page (as are all pages created from an
unmodified DMX6/6.1). It should be -

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

2. Your table is built using many col- and rowspans which usually results
in a fragile construction. If you would rebuild your page using nested
tables instead of cell splits, and stacked tables instead of cell merges,
you would likely get better results.

3. You are using HTML styling (i.e., font tags) which can lead to platform
differences.

4. You have some redundant and empty tags, e.g., <div align="left"></div>,
although this would not account for rendering differences.

Can't say I saw much else.
