I'm a web designer with some code knowledge, but I'm stumped. I have pages created in Adobe GoLive, and they all align properly in IE, but in Firefox (v 1.0 on Win XP) one whole set of pages misalign. I cannot find any difference in the code of the pages that would account for this, but there must be some small thing that IE doesn't pay attention to but FireFox does. Can anybody help? Pages that are correctly aligned: http://www.truckerhuss.com/docs/firm/why_choose.html http://www.truckerhuss.com/docs/firm/attorneys.html http://www.truckerhuss.com/docs/firm/opportunities.html etc (the whole section) Pages that are NOT correctly aligned (in FireFox): http://www.truckerhuss.com/docs/practice/Retirement_Plans.html http://www.truckerhuss.com/docs/practice/ESOPs.html http://www.truckerhuss.com/docs/practice/Taft_Hartley_Plans.html etc (the whole section). Thanks in advance for any help you can offer! |

Hello davidk2-ga This is a curious problem which I initially thought must be due to the format of the table but it is actually something much easier to fix than that although it took a lot longer to troubleshoot! Each of the pages that are broken in Firefox have the same menu down the side, this is our first clue to fixing the problem. The solution is that one of these items in the menu is causing the table to shift over to the left hand side of the page rather than be displayed in the center. This is usually caused by the item being too large for the table cell. To solve the problem, in the code for each of the pages that does not work change: Multi-Employer/Taft-Hartley Plans to: Multi-Employer / Taft-Hartley Plans Note the extra spaces around the slash character - these cause the table to wrap the text at the new space rather than at the end of "Multi-Employer/Taft-Hartley" which is too long a phrase for the size of the cell. If you need any further help on this please ask for clarification and I will do my best to respond swiftly. |

Perfect! Thanks so much! It's amazing that the spacing made such a difference (ie, much more space than just the text involved; somehow it seemed to throw off the whole table?) Great work! Thank you! David |
