Actually, the page on the old site does odd things for in in IE6/win98, too, just not the same things as the new site. Lemme take a look.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What happens when you pour the text from the broken one into the working one? And is there anything in the style sheet that's off?
Looking at it, I can't tell what the problem is, but the the tables differ in width by a column, and length by a row. I'd start from identical on the working one, and make it over step by step with the content of the broken one, and see if it breaks.

Huh -- I can get it to work in IE (not perfectly, but I can live with it) if I lose the extra padding column on the left side (the total number of columns is the same). And IE still seems to be treating that width=148 attribute as a suggestion it can take or leave. Very strange.

I was just going to say what ita said. The tables are different. The newer one has the main text in a double column, with a small border column to its right, while the old one just uses a triple column for text with no right column.

I've had this problem when I've mixed units in specifying width. You're specifying them three different ways, by pixel, by percentage, and by default (in the main text columns), plus you've specified a percent for the table itself. IE can be easily confused.
Also, you don't need "px" in the width attribute.

I'm starting to realize that. Stoopid browser. Firefox and Safari understand just fine.

M'kay. Is it hurting anything to leave it there, though? I'm tired of messing with this.

okay. i bought a dvd burner for my computer and i installed it, but it's not working. now...i've only ever installed one cd burner so i probably did it wrong. the instructions are less than helpful. i did everything they suggested.
one thing that could be preventing this is the fact that i don't have 512 MB of RAM. it said it was recommended though. *sigh*
I can't even get the drive to open. help!!!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
tiggy: what OS, and what brand/model of DVD burner? Also, can you describe what you did to install it?

I'm good on both accounts, tommyrot. Any chance gmail just hates you?
