My pages don't behave when the browser is re-sized. What am I doing wrong?

I would guess that your pages fill the browser window, eg aren't using a fixed sized table.

It might help if you gave us a link to see first hand though... it's kinda hard to trouble shoot html problems unless you can see the pages:)

Rather then using width="55%" in your table tag try using something like width="600" ....

This will force the table to remain within a specified pixel width for the page itself rather then deciding its width via a percentage of the page size....

You'll be able to play with the number from there to find the perfect width for your needs...

Hope this helps a bit...

I also see you're using a set background with side bars. Have you considered using the grey color as your background and use a bgcolor of white as your table.[nbsp][nbsp]Keeping as Deb suggested the width at a set pixel.[nbsp][nbsp]

This way you always have control over where the information falls within the white space.

Just a thought.

Only problem with that is Netscape doesn't work right with that (have I ever mentioned how much I loath Netscape?:) ) If you have a form with radio buttons or checkboxes, the background around them is set to the body bgcolor, so it would have a lil grey box around white. I learned this the hard way...
