Author Template Creates Slightly Different Pages

I have created a templage that I am using for a site I am developing but some
of the pages that are created are a few pixels off from the rest...

Any thoughts on how to fix this. I am so picky that I am very unsatisfied
with having a page that "jumps" while going from one link to another.

Check out the interface on the left nav at http://www.slohomesrus.com

Thanks!

This movement is fairly typical of the sloppy tables built by any HTML
'wizard' including DMX's Layout Mode. In addition, I am seeing goofy code
in there (was ImageReady involved at all?) -

<TABLE width=681 border=0 align=center cellPadding= cellSpacing=0
bgcolor="#FFFFFF" class="border1">
<!--DWLayoutTable-->
<tr> <t height="709" valign="top" background="grey_background.gif">

Note the absence of required quotes around the attributes, and that strange
<t height="709" thing - what's that about?

I'm sorry to tell you but there's no triage for such tables. They must be
rebuilt from scratch, avoiding the col- and rowspan hysteria that Layout
mode adds.

Less fragile tables (i.e., ones that are sturdier to change in content
shape/weight) will not jump like that from one page to the next.
