Ie7 rendering problem with page created in dreamweaver Mx

Hello people,
This also applies to opera 8.0...

Thats the page and it does use nested tables.. sorry.. will not display properly in ie7 or opera 8.. just a non pregnant cutoff couple inches below top margin... had page validated with w3c.. all the source is there.. came back "validated" There's no dynamics to the page whatsoever cept for link to external style sheet.. which was validated too.. got me some w3c badges!.. I truly dont understand whats goin on.. i've gone thru the file with hex view.. no invisible ctrl-chars.. ya think its the nesting?
Ant
Thank you people you are a marvellous tech base!

There is something a bit odd. (BTW, it displays correctly in Opera 9 in case you haven't checked yet).

I agree that it passes both W3C's HTML & CSS validators. However, there is something slightly amiss. I often use Nvu as my html editor & it does very nicely working with nested tables. With that said, here's what I just did:

I opened the page with IE7, IE6, & Opera 9 and found what you describe with IE7 only (the other 2 look OK). Then in IE7, I grabbed the html source code & pasted it into my Nvu editor and saved that to my desktop. I then opened that with IE7 & it displayed fine (other than the missing pictures, of course). So, Nvu fixed something (perhaps a closing table tag somewhere?) I didn't compare the 'before' and 'after', but there must be something slightly amiss.

After changing a couple of the urls to absolute (pulling the CSS & images from your server), it looks almost identical in FF2, Opera9, and IE7.

Whatever server you're using right at this moment seems to be sending this as text instead of html . Here's a screenshot of what I [previously] saw with different browsers - the IE7 version is the Nvu locally saved (corrected?) version. Opera 9 looks the most different, FF & IE7 look almost identical.

Once you get the server working properly again, you might want to post in forum215 & reference this thread. I think it's something in the html code, but it's too late at night for me to even think about looking for it.

Ahhh! but once i run it thru nvu and let dreamweaver have it again comes up ss real ugly text file with escaped html tags.. so there is more to the dreamweaver file than meets the eye
