What's your browser?

At least it's standard. Grin

Now that I think of it, would you happen to know how I could fix those problems? Just go the the article section or the top 5 on my home page and the border gets cut off at some of the entries. IE is so dumb, this is dynamic code and it's just the same code repeated for each entry, so they should all look the same.

Well, if you made your site the proper way, using CSS instead of tables, it would work fine in every browser except hopelessly old ones like Communicator 4.6.

Check www.woodturnedcreations.com for an example. It's not perfect (because it was the first decent site I did), but it's enough to show you what I mean.

Check W3Schools for nice info on CSS, XHTML, XML, and such.

IE; works fine for what I do and I use a combo of hardware and software to keep the garbage from getting into my system.

i get no probs with IE and so i stick to it. i would rather not fill up my pc with adware and spyware and crap. i mean, i know that comes anyway but Spybot sorts that out for me. Cool

Do you use a popup blocker, shrimp?

How does using Mozilla or Firebird fill up your system with adware and spyware? They help PREVENT that stuff and they have no ads like Opera...

And they block pop-ups, but let you see which ones have been blocked if you want, and you can tell it to allow the pop-ups you want. That's quite a bit better than crazy browser add-on for IE, or any other pop-up blocker I know of.......

Tables were never meant for laying out a webpage, and they remain so now.

That doesn't keep most everyone from using them, but tables are SOOOOOOO much messier and harder to control than some simple CSS. You should have seen that Woodturned Creations site when I first did it with tables and then later tables and CSS. Total pain, total mess.

I do understand however, that with a site of any size, escaping table madness would be difficult if the site was built using tables. Converting would take a lot of time.

You know, I think I may still have an old version of that site that uses tables, I'll check and see....
