Quick HTML Tables Help? by lethalreality9 on 12-29-2007 at 09:38 PM
I'm trying to set up a website that explains my script and where people can download my script and so on. I have it almost completed, except for when I remove some content the top 2 cells of my table randomly get bigger, even though I set their height to 30. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?
I attached the full code below. Can someone go through it to just make sure everything is okay. If you notice any errors or anything that should be modified, added or deleted, please let me know!
Thanks!

This is a problem with Internet Explorer only, your page shows fine in Firefox. I'm not aware of a solution for this issue, a Google search only showed a handful of people with the same problem but none of them ended up with a decent solution.

A solution would be to totally rewrite it with as minimal usage of tables as possible.
Tables were not meant to be used for website templates (they were not meant to be used to design a website) they were and are meant to handle data.
Recode it in div's it is possible and if you want me to do it for you PM me and I will do it as soon as i get home
