Not "overflowing" while viewing in 800x600, but while viewing in 640x480
it does have a horizontal scroll attached to it. The only reason I can
think of a viewer not getting a scroll bar is due to a low screen
resolution and/or a large font size chosen as the default in their
browser.

Check your widths of all your tds and nested tables, not to total over
the resolution size you are aiming for your audience (in width). Also,
keep your eye open on the widths of your tds and the widths of the
images w/in those tds. I see you have images wider than what is
specified in the tds that are holding those images.
