Can someone please take a look at http://epcd.whitecaphosting.com/ on
Safari and Firefox and tell me what is wrong with the layout. It looks
perfect in IE, and used to look good in FF until I widened the page.
Can anyone see an obvious glitch?

<tr align="center" valign="top">
<td width="688">
<table width="688" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

<tr>
<td width="688"><table width="688" border="0" cellpadding="0"
cellspacing="0">

This will always be a problem.
A) Style your tables with CSS, not deprecated markup.
B) Don't give absolute widths (688). Instead, give
percentages (i.e., 70%).
C) Validate -- this page fails.

Visit http://www.w3.org/2002/03/csslayout-howto for a different
approach. Correcting the errors revealed in the failed Markup
validation will help a lot.
