It's after 7 pm on a Friday after a rather tough week, so I don't know how
fresh my eyes are. I've done lots of work with somewhat complex tables
(using mouseovers) and I suspect the problem you're describing might be
because the total height of the <td>'s containing the buttons differs from
the corresponding <td> on the right of that column. I think the button
<td>'s are stretching within the table to match the height. I'm not sure
why you've made your table so complex, I almost suspect it was generated by
a wysiwyg or something, there are a lot of empty <td>'s and none of the
heights of the cells matches the content. I have somewhat similar layouts at:
http://www.jobskills.org/index.html
http://www.jobskills.org/sea/index.html
http://www.jobskills.org/sue/index.html <---still a work in progress for a
client
Take a look at the coding, and maybe think about simplifying your code, it
makes bugs/glitches easier to find. It's also helpful to draw out a table
on paper first, and when coding, set the border at 1 or 2 just so you can
see where things are ending up.
I hope this helps,
Karen :o)
