Frame/Table Row Issue

    Hey all, I've been designing sites off and on for a few years now and don't usually run into many problems. I've never add any official classes, I've learned via "View Source" and trial and error so this might be a really lame question.

    I made: http://www.onebulletconfession.com/station/

    It serves as my Home Page, providing quick links to everything I traffic often.

    For some reason, it loads with no issues at all in IE6 & IE7.

    However, in FireFox, my frame for news is about 100pixels high and the second row doubles up. Is this a table error? I can't seem to figure out what I did wrong...

    Anyone have some advise here?

    Your post caught my attention because I usually have better results with firefox and IE causes trouble.
    ~~~~
    Why do you use the frame with scroll bar at all?
    Since your using tables, why not just a large column??
    This way it should work in both FF and IE.

    I'm using the frame so the links are always on the top. I haven't done much with this at the moment but I plan to add links to all my projects in the frame. That way it still serves its function as a link page, with the least amount of hassle but if needed I can scroll to the projects. The frame is also an shtml document that pulls a ssi that I use from an auotmoated news script.

    I don't know how to fix it then.
    Browser differences can be a huge waste of time.
    Good luck.

    FYI: Most people who do know how to fix it will probably tell you to use CSS instead of tables :eek:
    It takes a lot of getting used to, but I've learned enough to stop using tables.

    I've never used CSS for a layout before, I don't even know where to start. Obviously I'm very comfortable with tables, I just don't know what I need to change.

    you have no doctype at all. And you have 155 errors in validation.

    As I stated at the start of the post
    so....

    Ok, what do you mean by that exactly?

    I don't check for errors, I use a very basic HTML editor close to notepad.
    I know how it works but to my knowledge I wrote it all correctly, there is something I'm missing here or simply just not doing.

    That is exactly what I said a few months ago, but learning CSS isn't all that bad.
    There's a CSS sub forum here at DP.

    Good luck.
