HI.

Having had such sterling help from the other lists regarding the basic site
template (which is now fixed, validated, and has complete migration underway
locally), I'm faced with another problem with my hobby site, this time with
the table layout for a part of my hobby site.

I'm currently developing a section of this site, to act as a fictional
corporate newsletter. I've got it working just fine, under IE5, but NN4.7
dumps the columnisation of the 'newsletter' all over the place. It's
currently at:

http://web.ukonline.co.uk/roger.stenning/blackeagle_bulletin/issue-1/bulleti
n-template.html

It's populated with fictional material, so ignore that for the time being.
I've tried specifying the cell widths in both pixels, percentages, and not
at all, and NN still gives me the same result - confusion.

If anyone could shed some light on just why this is happening, and suggest a
possible remedy, I'm listening, and would be grateful!

Best regards,
