Could you try it with the attached diff, to ditch the width attributes on the tables and cells? The fixed width means my browser needs to be at least 640 pixels wide, I normally run with it 540 pixels wide, and there's nothing really in the page that requires it. It also drops the table that you had surrounding everything. This means the page will render faster in Netscape (and probably IE) because it doesn't have to wait for the whole page to download before displaying it. It also means that if the top (logo plus drop down list) or bottom (list of 'powered by logos') extend further right than the width of the browser, it won't drag the text with it. To see the difference, apply this patch (call it index4.html or something) then load both of them into two Netscape windows, ~ 540 pixels wide. You should see the main text stays on screen and doesn't require a horizontal scroll, even though the images extend off to the right of the window. N -- C.R.F.
