Problem with www.okbar.org

My co-worker and I are having a problem with how okbar.org displays on IE. Once the browser is at a certain resolution (somewhere above 800x600), the text in the cell on the left runs over into the cell on the right.

It displays fine in Firefox.

I'm not the actual webmaster for the site, but am trying to help figure out the problem.

I knew once I posted the problem, we would figure it out. Smiling

Turns out, IE was causing an embedded table that was set to 100% to be 100% of the width of the table it was nested in, but still move it over because of a picture that was aligned to the left.

If that makes any sense.

Say the encompassing table was 100 pixels wide, and the picture was 25 pixels wide. The embedded table, set at 100%, should have been 75 pixels wide, since it was next to the pixels. Instead, it was 100 pixels, and caused the text above it to be 100 pixels wide also.

Anyway, problem solved.

I'd like to take credit, but I'm not actually the webmaster. I do the programming for that site, but not the graphic design element at all.

You might want to tell the webmaster to nix the margin all around the page, I don't know why you'd want a small white border around the whole thing.
