My home page at www.access-programmers.co.uk (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk) looks fine when using Internet Explorer. However, I've recently found it looks dodgy when viewed with Netscape.
Is there some kind sole who can tell me what's wrong?
I've been looking and can't find anything wrong.
Thanks,
Jon

Hi Jon,
I assume you are talking about the blue left border area not lining up with the topleft.gif image?
It looks like the problem is that the image is 143 pixels wide, but the table cell below it does not have a width specified, allowing the body of the page to expand into that space as much as possible.[nbsp][nbsp]You have:
<td height="79">
for the cell in question.[nbsp][nbsp]I would change that to:
<td width="143">
and possibly use a 143 pixel wide transparent gif to make sure the correct width is reserved.[nbsp][nbsp]Don't bother with height tags on tables.[nbsp][nbsp]They don't do anything as far as I can tell.[nbsp][nbsp]Width tags are very important, however.
Also, there is a large vertical blank space in the body of the page.[nbsp][nbsp]It looks to be caused by you placing the left-side links in separate cells, instead of just running them down vertically within the same cell, and putting the page body in a row after all of that is completed.
