Thanks, I'll give it a shot. The entire "quirks" mode of CSS for layout is why I still use tables for layout.

(...or Why Does IE suck?) One problem you have is the use of the xml prolog. This causes IE6 to act in quirks mode (making it like IE5.5). Remove that and see what happens. I'd suggest a review of the standards for the use of tables: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/tables.html Validator says there are a number of xhtml errors. Those need to be fixed as well before why can be solved. Actually, if you want to use the table for layout, change the doctype to just html not xhtml. You might even validate then. This is not a layout which calls for a table so you're just complicating things by using xhtml. Misuse css for style only and some of your problems will probably just resolve themselves. drew -----Original Message----- From: J.R.

(...or Why Does IE suck?) on http://gojohnniego.com/endorsements.asp On some widths in IE, words on the right side of the center (main) content column will overlap into the td cell next to it. You can see this by slowing reducing the width of your viewing window. I've tried fixing this with various margin settings, but it always seems to happen. I've even wrapped it up in a margined DIV. This doesn't happen in Opera. My next is to add a blank td in, but I'd like to know WHY this happens, as I've run into it before. Thanks.
