Hey all,
i had a quick search for a similar case but to no avail...
I'm creating a site and its in a table, with 3 td the main content all on one row
i have created this site testing in Mozilla but when i tested on IE theres a major problem
if the user has a low res or a smaller screen the far right td overlaps the middle td and this is a major problem
i've tried using style='position:relative' and all but to no avail
any help with solving this problem would be much appreciated!!

Have you tried using percentages for those widths instead of fixed pixel dimensions?
Make the table 100% and size the TDs correspondingly.

well i've fixed it to the extent that i can - i've used div tags and given it attributes through css
thanks anyways

I am having the same issue.
the table has 100% width, 1 tr, and only the 2nd (center) td of 3 has a declaration of 40%.
i have tried all combinations of % widths to no avail. i did not try fixed widths as that is not a solution i want.

Start with fixing the errors.

Use a doctype that's more apropriate for what you actually write than XHTML Strict and you will get rid of some of the HTML errors.
