tables in Dreamweaver format issues..

[earth2mac]

I sliced table and brought it into DW. It looks fine on it's page, but I copy the table code into another nested table it shifts everything. I even took out rowspan and gave the cells exact with/height and it still doesn't close gaps...
What can I do?

<!-- ImageReady Slices (TopNavigation.psd) -->
<table id="Table_01" width="768" height="96" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td rowspan="3">

<td colspan="6">

You'd be far better off learning to do this right rather than slice/n/dice. Check out the authors in my sig and start thinking first about your content then about the presentation. E.g. most of the markup you've posted could more correctly be a simple unordered list with six items.
