I looked at the first link. The table width for the big table is set to
95%, and so Mozilla gives it the requested room. The 5% left over is
inadequate for the stuff on the right which is given an absolute width
of 210. In order for it to fit you would have to be using a screen with
x resolution of 4200. In my opinion Mozilla is displaying it correctly
and if it all fits on the screen in IE than IE is displaying it
incorrectly even if it looks better...
