Hi again,

I have followed the suggestions and still nothing. The new code looks
like this:

<html>
<body>
<table border=1 style="text-align:center;">
<tr>
<td style="width:160x; text-align:center;">
<img alt="Greece 2004" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/
wikipedia/commons/thumb/
6/62/%E2%82%AC2_commemorative_coin_Greece_2004.jpg/150px-
%E2%82%AC2_commemorative_coin_Greece_2004.jpg"/>
        </td>
        <td>Greece</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
         Description: sdfksjd fsadjkfh alskdjfh asldkjfhas dlkjfhasldkfj
aerluitqeriotu flvbadffgarlt qerlf gqw fgsadk jf hasgdkfj hsadkfg
        </td>
</tr>
<tr>
        <td style="width:160x; text-align:center;">
         <img alt="Finland 2004" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/
wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ab/
%E2%82%AC2_commemorative_coin_Finland_2004.jpg/150px-
%E2%82%AC2_commemorative_coin_Finland_2004.jpg"/>
        </td>
        <td>Greece</td>
</tr>
<tr>
        <td colspan="2">
         Description:
        </td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

... the first set of cells is supposed to be 160 pixels but it is
not. This only happens in IE, Firefox and Safari are fine with it.
Any clues?

Thanks,
SpideMan

Obviously you did not. Validate the CSS, that is.

See anything wrong with the above line?

<td style="width:160px; text-align:center;">
<img alt="Greece 2004" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/
wikipedia/commons/thumb/
6/62/%E2%82%AC2_commemorative_coin_Greece_2004.jpg/150px-
%E2%82%AC2_commemorative_coin_Greece_2004.jpg"/>
        </td>
        <td>Greece</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
         Description: sdfksjd fsadjkfh alskdjfh asldkjfhas dlkjfhasldkfj

        </td>
</tr>
<tr>
        <td style="width:160px; text-align:center;">
         <img alt="Finland 2004" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/

So, you have been wasting our time solving problems that are really typos.

Do you now see the value of posting a URL to the offending page, rather than
copy/pasting or even worse retyping incorrrect stuff into a post and then
expecting all of us to copy/paste that incorrect stuff into a file somewhere
on our local file system to be able to view it with a browser?

I doubt any further action will be taken by anybody until you provide the
URL to the offending page, as you have been told to.

Richard,

You have not even tried or else you will understand what I am saying.
The URL is a wikipedia page, quite complex and I have spent a lot of
time simplyfing to the simplest HTML possible that still contains the
problem. If you really want to try save the last code (already CSS
validated) and open it in IE and FF, you will notice immediately the
difference. I am trying to see if it is a bug in IE and if anyone has
seen how to solve it.

FYI, I could always set teh whole table to a fixed width and my
problem is gone.
FYI 2. The page I am trying to fix is
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E2%82%AC2_commemorative_coins
... does that help? I bet you it does not!

Thanks,
SpiderMan
