Stephen It's weirder than you might have thought. Just had a look at that page in FF 1.0.2 - displays as you described. In IE 6.0 - there's blank space beside the house image in both tables. In Opera 7.23 - there's a blank space beside the house image in both tables, plus a break in the line that forms the bottom border of the table. I'll send screen shots directly to you. Not as good as an answer, I'll admit, but hopefully helpful anyway... Mark ========================================= Yikie tykies, Stephen! I think the problem is with the display of the table. You are using the default -- automatic layout. This leads to weird math. Cell widths are based on Minimum Content Width (MCW) unless there is a supervening specific cell width as is the case for row 2, cell 2 (505px), and/or if there is an inline width as in your image. Talk about compounding variables! Why 2 different resolutions of the same layout. Perhaps this note sums it up best: Note. In this algorithm, rows (and row groups) and columns (and column groups) both constrain and are constrained by the dimensions of the cells they contain. Setting the width of a column may indirectly influence the height of a row, and vice versa. http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/tables.html#x2 I interpret that to mean: six of one, half a dozen of the other and good luck buddy. I changed the layout to table{table-display: fixed;} and the results were reliable if not exactly what you wanted. That includes removing the 4 cell line in the second table. The column width is 149px more or less, give or take (595 divided by 4 and fudged). Who knows how your server and browser will render them. drew ____ • The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM • ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk ________________ http://www.wdvl.com _______________________ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
