Page not OK in IE but Ok in Firefox. Please Help + Rep

Please help.

 

Instead of using % use a fixed value for your tables.

So this:

will become this:

Hope it helps

 

Thank you. Do you know what width i need? Roughly?

 

hmmm...

OK Will try later, rep added

 

Thanks!
I hope it solved your problem

 

You may also want to just ease up on the tables - using tables for a single column is a /fail/... using tables for a single TD is an even BIGGER fail.

VALIDATING your code may also be of great assistance - though if I was to guess as to the reason for the behavior in IE, it's on line 113.

<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" border="0" align="center">
<tr><td valign="top" width="200">


You are telling it to ONLY be 200px wide... frankly I'm trying to figure out why it isn't only 200px wide in other browsers.... remove that width="200" and you should be fine.

Either way it's in desparate need of code reduction as you've got probably four times the html that's needed for that layout from wrapping tables around EVERYTHING - *** NOTE *** I'm not saying don't use tables for layout like some other people, but looking at your site it only needs one table to make the columns, not the eight or so you are using.

for example where you have:

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="4" class="tborder">
<tr>
<td class="thead"><strong>StakeAShark.Com</strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="trow2">

<!-- add some stuff here: -->

StakeAShark.Com provides the ultimate online poker
staking experience. Incorporating the security of a full
database of results of previous stakes showing money
won, return on investment and the amount of stakes the
user has completed.

<!-- stop adding here :p -->


</td>
</tr>
</table>

Code (markup):

That's a total waste as there is NO REASON to be using a table there. Even IF you kept the table, you should be classing the table NOT the TD since you should be using a TH instead of a class and presentational markup for the header, leaving only one TD in the html.... Not that a table for a single column is EVER worth the waste of code - That should probably simply be:

<div class="content_box">
	<h2>StakeAShark.Com</h2>
	<p>
		StakeAShark.Com provides the ultimate online poker
		staking experience. Incorporating the security of a full
		database of results of previous stakes showing money
		won, return on investment and the amount of stakes the
		user has completed.
	</p>
</div>

Code (markup):

Which is ALL the HTML you need for that section.
