tables messed up in Opera and Netscape

[Stoemp]

Hi,

I have a spash page to my website with an image that's been cut to smaller pieces. I have put the images in a table and in IE, everything looks fine. When I open the website in NN or Opera, the table is messed up. I think the HTML code is right, but I'm no cross-browser specialist. Someone who can help me get this fixed?

The website is:

It looks the same to me in IE or Netscape 7.1. What's it supposed to look like?

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!

Something is pushing the images out of alignment. Maybe it's the P tag in the last section. There are probably some simpler alternatives to acheive this layout, for example using a positioned background image and CSS-positioning:

<style type=&quot;text/css&quot;>
div#splash{...}/*position splash box, place bg*/
div#splash div#food{...}/*position food text*/
div#splash div#research{...}/*position research text*/
div#splash div#diag{...}/*position diagnostics text*/
</style>
...
<div id=&quot;splash&quot;>
<div id=&quot;food&quot;>Food...</div>
<div id=&quot;research&quot;>Research...</div>
<div id=&quot;diag&quot;>Diagnostics...</div>
</div>

Hope this makes sense,
petey

First of all in NS when u design a table it will be best to use px rather than % (from experience). secondly when u insert images in a row and that row has an empty column (with only a color) NS expects the cell width for all the cells in that row (IE doesnt)...

the page may look like that because of just missing a small space... (pathetic aint it?)

thats why if u want NS compatibility its best to check it at design time itself (after creating each and every row in a table i first check whether its correct in NS)...

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

It's very weird that the 'francais'-link in the 'FOOD' cell is on a separate line. I don't understand how this is possible. Anyone an idea?

Thx,
Steven

With some slight changes (div instead of p) the table is ok in Opera 6.05, but still messed up in NS. I think it's the 'francais' hyperlink that messes everything up.
