I have one page on my site that is giving me a headache. I have gone over it a million times. . .no really. . .and I can't figure out why my table is leaving the "container" when viewed in FF2, Safari, and Chrome, but is fine in IE (amazingly enough) and FF3. Here is the link to my page: http://www.leitnerconstruction.net/team.html

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

There are some validator errors that may or may not affect this: http://www.htmlhelp.com/cgi-bin/validate.c...n.net/team.html

I guess I am not seeing where the validation errors are affecting this situation. These are the same errors I receive for the other pages as well, but they do not displace parts of the page. Also, when I originally designed this page it worked fine everywhere. I ended up re-uploading the site at a later date and it hasn't been the same since. I was hoping that maybe someone might see something minor that I have skipped over or that was inadvertently changed.

One other thing. . .is there a known read error for tables within a CSS layout in the following browsers: FF2, Safari and Chrome? Any info would be helpful at this point.

it has always been good in FF3, just not FF2, Chrome and Safari.

at any rate. . .i just eliminated the table(. . .and my headache) that was in the page and went about things a bit differently than i had initially set out to do. i think things are all squared away now.

Try it with a minimum font size of 15 or 16. You don't know the height of the text content, because you don't know the size of the font used in the browser. You can't assume that the text content will fit in any fixed-height box.

The text now fits in the right place (Safari/Mac), but you still have HTML errors which you should fix.

One of those errors concerns the embedding of the Flash objects. To solve that, read ALA's article Flash Satay: Embedding Flash while supporting standards.

The menu.js is also missing.
