Subject: RE: BS: Need HTML help on a web page
You need to confine the information and images within a given space. Making a table "100%" doesn't work well. It can look strange on a lot of monitors. I try to keep tables to no more than about 750 pixels because of the many smaller older CRT monitors that are out there (and the new LDC flat panel monitors don't have very high resolution unless you pay megabucks for them).

I am not sure if you've incorporated any of those changes suggested above into your page as it stands now. It strays way to the right on my large monitor (I do web design, so have a large fine-detailed monitor, but most people can't see the page in the way the designer sees it--too bad!). I've tinkered with it but I can't make any of your links work to find an email to send you a text file with the revised html.

A validator isn't really going to help make the page display properly in the way you're looking for help. It's going to tell you if you closed your tags and if you have any extra stuff floating around on the page that needs to be removed or tell you what links need completing. It won't say a thing about how the tables work or how the whole thing displays.
