Re: IE4 and Image Alignment

The second cell in you first row is set to 90% of the page width. That added
to your cell 1 190px and your cell 3 170 px plus the remaining four cells
(140px) gives a perfectly balanced layout if your user's screen is 5000
pixels wide!! (the remaining 10% multiplied out by your fixed width cells).

If you are going to go percentages instead of fixed width here you need to
rethink the design.
