Tim, I had a look in both IE first it showed the table fine even after refreshing 4 or 5 times & scrolling down, there was a script exicution error (script look longer than 30 secs....) then loaded it in Netscape and table didn't show at all... I'd try initally just grabbing the table part and getting that happening with just pure html with some data in manually put in there .. I'd try to get the table lay out right before including php I had a similar problem and found was because it didn't like the html out put was being sent by php.

It may take three or four times at most. I don't know if you scrolled the table each time but it is random and sometimes not apparent but here is the contents of an e-mail address cell at line 433. fredded width='22%' bgcolor='#FFFFFF'>department Other "e-mail" cells have department it them.
