table wdth in IE6

y2k1981 · Dec 5, 2003

Hi All,

I setup this website a while ago, at

http://www.geocities.com/nitramglobal

- I haven't worked on it in a while, but I'm beginning to now again. if you have a look at the home page, can somebody explain to me why, in IE 6, there is a gap at the end of the table, yet when I view it in any other browser (opera, netscape, IE5) there isn't. The calculations are correct, the table is 70px, the first TD is 680 px and the last one is 20px. So what's going on, can somebody help me out here?

Thanks in advance

Interestingly enough, it is your DOCTYPE declaration that confuses IE6. Lose the DOCTYPE and things will return to normal. Though I am not seriously suggesting that. I am confused as to why you are using the frameset.dtd on your site since I can see no frames. I would change that to:

<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

and then run your site under a validator:

First thing you could try to tackle is moving the table and cell widths to css (style="width: 680px;&quot

and then the align attributes (style="text-align: center;&quot

. That will probably yield a solution.
