Mike,

I know you are going to find this hard to believe but . . . 

if you'll take out the spaces between the table cells it'll work right.

Seriously.

It's been a NN bug for a loooong time.

You gotta but the opening td in a tr right up against the preceding closing
td. tdSee what I tdmeantd? :-)

<.tr>
<.td>whatever<./td>  <.td>whatever more<./td>
<./tr>

makes NN unhappy.

<.tr>
<.td>whatever<./td><.td>whatever more<./td>
<./tr>

makes NN happy.

I know, I know, it is not supposed to mater a hoot - but it does.
And why in the heck you are experiencing it depending on which DTD you use
. . . I would have to refer to Mr. Mozilla, 'cause I'm clueless!

HTH,
Fuzzy.
