Having problems with the way tables are displaying in different browsers.

[jtusa]

Having problems with tables displaying correctly in netscape/mozilla/firefox when it works in IE. Someone who's willing to help please PM me.

Have you validated the code?

Can you post the code?

Problem is in IE everything displays correctly, top table with logo is centered over the main table like it should be. In Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox, etc, the top table with the logo in it displays directly to the right of the main table. Make sense?

Code
--------------

<center>
<br>
<table border="0" width="700" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<img src="logo.jpg" align="right">
</table>
<br>
<table border="0" width="700" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="150" valign="top">
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#000000">
<tr>
<td width="100%" height="250" valign="top" align="left">
Menu
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</center>
<td width="550" valign="top">
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" height="500" bgcolor="#000000">
<tr>
<td width="100%" valign="top">
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="255" valign="top">
text
</td>
<td width="245">
text
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Looks the same to me in IE and Firefox

Edit: BTW nested tables = eww. Can you do it in another way?

Edit2: Oh I see what you mean. You forgot to close </center>

I'm a dunce when it comes to tables, show me some examples of a better way to do it. I'm definitely open to suggestions.

Gimme a rough photochop of what you wanna do.

Ideally you should use CSS to layout your page but the learning curve is rather steep.. just PM me a link or post it here..

There you go.

You cannot make the main page dynamic using just HTML. You'll probably need SSI or some scripting language like PHP or ASP to "include" some file so that it'll just load the main page.

Otherwise you will have to copy and paste the rest of the page.. well I suppose you can use frames to do that but that's icky too

edit: bleh attach code

here's a link

Thanks a bunch! I'll mess around with that and see what I can do.

Yeah, I'm using PHP for the main part, and I detest frames so they are definitely out of the question.
