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.
But if the world doesn't end, I'm gonna need a note.

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Anyone else having problems with gmail? None of my 'puters can get in....

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

Probably.
I keep getting error 502:
The server encountered a temporary error and could not complete your request.
Please try again in 30 seconds.
In Mozilla, Firefox and Safari. Guess I'll just try later.
eta: I've also had problems connecting to b.org. Maybe the snow is causing problems for the carrier pigeons that cary the network packets.
