I think that your nested tables is throwing things out of whack. I would suggest converting to frames or absolutely positioned DIV tags.

I'm just going to the code like it is for now, but could you show me how to fix it?

Thanks.

I would fix it by putting the entire thing in one single table. Good lord, you have up to five nested tables in this, most of 'em just nest>>nest>>nest. It took me ten minutes to figure out (by screwing with the borders) which table contained which data.

So, my recommendation is to design a very simple layout template. Include spaces to denote nests. Like this:

Code:

<html>
  <body>
    <table>
      <tr>
        <td width=&quot;100&quot;>
          menu
        </td>
        <td>
          body
        </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td colspan=&quot;2&quot;
          footer
        </td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  </body>
</html>
[code]

If you noodle on this template until you have what you like, [i]then[/i] you populate it with your content.

Good luck!
