For a start make your life easy and MAKE SURE that the Jpeg text IS
placed below the image by adding the following straight after the
</a>

<br clear="all">

so that it reads

</a><br clear="all">
JPEG, 1536x1024, 600.5kB

yep.  i c what u mean.

HOWEVER!  the problem isnt with your first table TD  but with the
Third one!! :-}

For whatever reason Imaginable the v betas new table layout software
is making the third <TD></TD> items wrap down in size to fit the
text and totally ignoring the cell size of the first TD.  What u need
to do is override that by manually telling it to fill all the
remaining space after 288 + 8 is used.

<td width="100%" align="left" valign="top"><font
color="yellow"><i>Billede nr. I.32</i></font><p>Beskrivelse.</p></td>
 

Simply adding the     width="100%"     will tell it to do this.

Simple answer.  Bizarre fact that it should need that at all, as two
Defined figures plus a "take whats left" SHOULD have produced the
right effect but for some reason didnt!

Hope this helps.

Biff.
