I created this page, using 100% tables. When I first open the page in Explorer, it looks fine, but when I click on another link and come back to it, a gap appears on the right not matter... I am stumped...any tips?

Here is a test page I have posted....

Though I don't have a direct answer for the problem, I can make a suggestion (which you probably won't like!). I would recommend making everything all one table, rather than having tables within tables.

I had to do this with a site whose tables I'd created with FP and it was certainly a hassle because I had to actually edit the HTML. But I wound up with a site that is displayed as I want it to be in every browser I've tested with and with every screen resolution.

The only guess I have about the problem is that some of your tables have explicit pixel size and others have percentages. There could be a conflict there. Since explicit pixel sizes usually come into existance when you've resized by dragging on a table/cell with the mouse (as opposed to your setting them), I would suggest starting with those and specifying percentages instead of pixels.

Good luck. If you come up with the solution, please post so others can learn too! :)

HEre is the fix:

<body topmargin=&quot;0&quot; leftmargin=&quot;0&quot; rightmargin=&quot;0&quot; bottommargin=&quot;0&quot;>

Before the tag looked like this:

<body topmargin=&quot;0&quot; leftmargin=&quot;0&quot;>

Thanks for the response!
