Thanks for the quick answer, we have a system that works with IE and
does not work with FF (the css does not work properly) We have started
to change the code but we are having a lot of problems adapting the
code, is there a manual that can help us adjust the code for the 2
browsers?

Thanks
Omri

Dear Omri:

You can check out the W3C specs for the <table> tag to get the official 
explanation (http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/tables.html).  It is my 
experience that tables are only for data (collections of statistics, 
etc), whereas anything you are putting in a table simply for layout is a

no-no (unless you are transitioning and using CSS only for styles, 
layout is a lot more difficult).  You can put a calendar in a table 
since it is tabular data, but you do have to label it correctly.  The 
major concern of tables is they are difficult for people with handicaps 
to read and the information is lost.  If you can avoid a table with a 
cleaner method, I recommend doing so.  If you are uncertain if it will 
cause problems, try reading your page on a cell phone or on a computer 
with JAWS.  If you can't follow what is going on, your users won't 
either. ;-)
