Hi all,

Does anyone know why this site that I am building does weird things in IE
5.2 for Mac OSX?

It seems to be a problem with tables and table cells. Is there any easy fix?
When I view it some of the cell contents are thrown to the right.

Every other browser seems to display it okay, including IE on Windows.

Thanks for looking!

quick fix-
There's three tables in the page- one main and two nested in cells of the
first.
click inside of each of them, and hit the "clear table heights" and "clear
table widths" buttons on the lower left of the property inspector.

use split code and design view; and the quick tag selector at bottom left
margin of design window to click into and select the <table> tags on the
quick tag selector.

When everything is precisely defined and the math doesn't work out- there's
little predicting the results. Minimize the declared sizes, and let the
table collapse around the content.

I cleared all heights+widths, put a <base> tag in so my version used your
images and css, and it displayed fine.
