Help please!

Hi, I've been modifying the look of a clients site, changing images etc, but he doesn't want it recoding and it's all in tables (which I'm not particularlyfamiliar with)

All is well except a couple of pages are playing about in IE even though they use the same template and stylesheet.

This is the main page:

http://store.gbfitness.net

and here is one of the pages that goes wrong in IE:

http://store.gbfitness.net/prodtype....ageHistory=cat

As you can see, the buttons get spaced out. Does anyone know how to sort this out please? I've put fixed widths on the tables and so can;t understand why it's doing this, as it's fine on pretty much all of the rest of the site.

Any help would be much appreciated

Re: Help please!

Links look like this:
<span class="prodtypemenu">&nbsp;&nbsp;<a class='prodtypemenu2' ...

1. Take out the &nbsp;
2. Check your CSS for width:100%; and display:block; and tweak away!

I think the problem is that the table in the main page content is 'squeezing' the left menu cell a little. That would be because the table width is set to 100%. I dodgy work-around is to use 98% or a little less...

I know it's off-topic BUT:
Talk to this guy and try to convince him to re-code this stuff (unless you don't wanna go there).
His frontpage has PR 4, then most pages after that have PR0 or PR1. Where's all the PR going???
URLs like these do not help: http://store.gbfitness.net/prodtype....ageHistory=cat

Re: Help please!

Unfortunately it will be quite a job converting it all to css. Mainly because the tables will be dynamically generated.

Unless your experinced in ASP i would just do what he says and be done with it, otherwise you may mess some things up.

I know it isn't the topic BUT, if he wants a long term solution, it's worth inventing on:
A - modifying the current system
or
B - putting a new system in place
