    Text in a cell

    kairosmatt Community Member
      I've created a table centered in a table within a page. It looks great in dreamweaver, but in Firefox the writing goes all the way across cells with out stopping. Internet Explorer was displaying it fine, but then later in the design the background disappeared (only in IE!). So I started from scratch, and now the first problem is in both Firefox and IE. Clearly I'm missing something, so here's the code:


      <body>
      <table width="1144" height="721" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
      <tr>
      <td width="800" height="450" valign="top"><table width="1207" height="849" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
      <tr>
      <td height="118" class="letterbox"><img src="boris logos/logo fireworked.png" width="1200" height="118" /></td>
      </tr>
      <tr align="center" valign="middle">
      <td width="800" height="400" align="center" background="pics/beach 2 copy.gif"><table width="604" height="297" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
      <tr>
      <td>A Bahamian high-definition produciton company specializing in environmental education and island entertainment.</td>
      <td> </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
      <td> </td>
      <td> </td>
      </tr>
      </table></td>
      </tr>

      The writing in the middle is not supposed to go through all the cells, but it does!

          Wait a second, I closed dreamweaver and started it up again, and now it looks great! The old file is still acting wacky, but I can't find any differences in the code!

            Your main table is 1144 wide, which has a nested table of width 1207..
            Might pay to check the code a bit more. And get rid of the height tags..
            Did you run it through a validator?
