Gadzooks! A page that's 17% content and 83% markup. I didn't think that was possible. Can you possibly get the DOCTYPE changed from XHTML 1.1? That is only meant for pages sent as XML, not HTML. Then you'd need to validate and fix the errors to have a fighting chance of getting browsers to agree. When it comes to letting browsers fix errors, all bets are off, and CSS is unlikely to give consistent results unless the underlying HTML is okay. Sorry to be such a Cassandra. OTOH I must admire your ability to get a table-based design to display the way you want in even a couple of browsers. It looks just like I think you want it in Opera 9.6. That takes skill!
