Well, of course it works, so I must say you're a total genius. :)

I gave up and went to bed when I posted, but I did suspect that forcing 
a fixed table width would solve the problem. What threw me off is the 
fact that I had to click *twice* before those links would work. I was 
affraid that even if I fixed the width, I would still have to click 
twice. But now that I've tried it I see this is not the case. I am 
relieved, but still curious. Can you think why this might be?

Also, I tried each of those styles individually and only
                table.main {width: 890px;}
actually works. Should I leave the others in there for good measure, do 
you think? Or is this just creating unnecessary clutter?

Lastly, how did you decide on the values you used -- 890 & 910 ? I know 
I was aiming for a width of 900, but do you have a tool that will 
calculate widths for you? Or were you doing it in your head?

Good idea! I know that dreamweaver has been complaining, but now that 
I've heard it from a human, I've gone and read about it. I'll start 
making my lines out of =====.


My sincerest thanks for helping me both with my layout AND my coding 
style! And, btw, that's a healthy looking cow you've got there. Wish we 
had more like that in this country!
