solved with "100%"

didn't take away the wrong table layout with <br /> in front of every </td>EDIT: problem is within the nested width

  <td width="*" valign="top">   <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="table">    <tr>  <td width="166" valign="top">               ...  </td>  <td width="*" valign="top">               ...

last * doesn't take whole space he can take in IE like it should.If i fill in eg. 900 then it works fine ... But that's not the best solution

So that is why I made the suggestion I did.  If you are using blank table cells to line stuff up

then you get an empty line in every table ... what's the use of that

All works fine in FF, but IE screws it upBoth pages below have exactly the same code (only changed the content in 1 cell using PHP). One works fine, one's screwed up.http://sov.freefronthost.com/battledome.phphttp://sov.freefronthost.com/runetemple.phphow can i solve this ? using divs instead of tables ?i read all my code and i don't think i forgot 1 single table tag

interesting topic ...my problem is a bit like that, but then with tableshttp://sov.freefronthost.com/twilight.phpvs http://sov.freefronthost.com/battledome.phptotally same code for the top but different result in IE (FF works fine, what else do we expect).Should i change to divs to solve this ?
