Re: Image alignment Problem

With all due respect Steve (et al),

Please notice the broken TD tag (TD>). That will cause the page to display
completely unpredictably all by its self.

Now, it's completely true that this application could very well require the
clear tag to make the page perform as desired. However, as long at that
code is broken the page _will_ display improperly and unpredictably.

I snagged a copy of the page. I fixed the code. I can state for a fact that
the whole darned page looked different after ~only~ the HTML was repaired.

Not looking for an argument, just trying to fix the page and learn
something in the process:
