I accidentally replied only to you...here it is for the list....

(edited for mail format)
        <tr><td colspan="2" align="center"><IMG SRC=".." WIDTH="600"
HEIGHT="63"
ALT=".."></td>
        </tr>

        <tr>
                <td width="170" bgcolor="#840000" align="center" valign="top">
                <!--MENU Items Here-->

They're in separate rows. The design is a table within a table design. And the
odd thing is, if I set the outer table to 600, the inner table will obey. But
no matter what I do with the inner table, it wants to spread too wide. (I
installed NS, so I can see it now, too...)

The more I work with it, the more frustrated I get. I don't want to limit the
page to 600 wide on large resolutions, but unless I define a table width for
either the inner or the outer table in pixels, it goes wide. Of course, this is
all in Netscape -- IE seems to work fine. (I remember when it was just the
opposite <G>).

Anyone have any ideas?
