Ok.. Here's my web.. http://four4swords.buhh.net/index.htm .. I'm desperately trying to get the "WHYR'D HQ" table to be set exactly between the "main Menu" and the CardMaze".. and also to get rid of the black border line around it..

could you please tell me what to do to get that.. I want that to be able to be seen on any firefox browser...

Hi,
From what I can see you have used text boxes ... they are not compatible with a lot of browsers ... do a search on this forum for text boxes or vml and you will see why.

You will have to get rid of the text boxes. Make your self one table with three columns evenly spaced. Inside each column put another single column table not quite as wide as each cell it is going into and then make your three headings and content again, one in each table. Dont use anything from the drawing tool bar or the positioning tool bar.

Im sorry but there are text boxes. Here is the code:

<td width="227" height="42" valign="top" style="border-style: solid; border-width: 1">
<!--[if gte vml 1]><v:rect
id="_x0000_s1025" alt="" style='width:148.5pt;height:19.5pt' stroked="f">
<v:fill color2="fill darken(194)" rotate="t" method="linear sigma" focus="100%"
type="gradient"/>
<v:textbox>

And in the head of your document is VML code still

<!--[if !mso]>
<style>
v\:* { behavior: url(#default#VML) }
o\:* { behavior: url(#default#VML) }
.shape { behavior: url(#default#VML) }
</style>
<![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]>
<xml><o:shapedefaults v:ext="edit" spidmax="1027"/>
</xml><![endif]-->

And the very first line in your source code, above everything else:

<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">

You must have missed those bits. Did you copy and paste? if so you will always (well nearly always) copy the VML code over with you.

cheers

Yes, anything on the Drawing Tool bar. Also Word Art, although there are ways around Word Art.

But tables/cells will do you just fine with the layout you want.

check your code, both the table and the cell have borders, you will see it in the code and be able to delete. Or just remake the tables.
