Random table sizing

[m0rfar]

Hi!

Having a problem with tables that are randomly changing sizes on page reloads, example:

What it should look like:

How it may look sometimes:
http://www.skip.informatik.gu.se/~per/bad.jpg

We're absolutely out of ideas, the website in question can be found at:

The error turns up randomly when browsing through the pages or reloading them.

Any tips will be greatly appreciated :)

looks like resolution has been changed to me, what sort of error comes up?

I have seen it too, try going to the main forum here and reloading it, it changes size too. I believe its just a problem with using tables for layout (they were not designed for it)

yeah i was told today that tables arnt the best tool for laying out objects in a site, they handy if only doing a bit in them or its a small page, but they do have a nasty habit of messing up

Hope this helps

I would say learn css, it is quite easy one of its biggest advantages is its organized because you can toss all of your layout code into an external file and use a link rel to import it. It saves on bandwidth this way too, only having to have the browser read it one time and it means less work (unless you want a dynamic layout for different resolutions and you want to use an iframe too, but thats just one of the things that I often do and its a pain in the butt to get it to work on ie) go to www.w3schools.org
