On the nested table remove width="100%" and change #contentTable to:

#contentTable td {
padding: 5px;
width: 583px;
}
I think the width is the correct value and I'm assuming your not using #contentTable anywhere else.
I am using the table but its for similar knid of data so that will be fine. I actually set the width of #contentTable and not contentTable td as it was giving me data tables with 583. Is this the right approach?

You also have broken and depreciated tags in your page. .
I am not sure where these are - I have run a HTML tidy and had a good look - can you point me in the right direction?

I noticed the table is a 3 column table, but you always seem to merge the 2 right most columns, therefore I'd change the table to a 2 column it will make it simpler to find bugs.
Thank you - im not sure how it became three - i only ever use the two as you said.

I note that you have a lot of white space down both sides of your content area, this make the display area required bigger than 800x600.
How would I change this? Make the structural table larger? or is it too large already? I saw the site via AOL Browser and on a 19" non-flat screen last night and it looked awful!

So glad I don't use tables for layout any more
I know I should be using CSS for everything now but I am having difficulty getting my head round the concepts. I also have to ensure that non-experienced HTML users can use the site and update easily using Macromedia Contribute - so I need to be able to let them use tables!

Thank you so much for your help so far - I am sorry to bombard you with a million and one questions!

Kind regards
Emma Gale
