HTML tables breaking

I created a small site in DW and used a template for the left sided navbar.<br />
<br />
I can't understand why my table is breaking apart when I put a long text block in the main content area. (see the buttons on the left side navbar)<br />
<br />
I really want this section to be flexible enough to expand downwards as far as I need without affecting the other table cells and/or template.<br />
<br />
The url is:<br />
<br />
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.riley.co.uk/organon/flash/psychiat.html">http://www.riley.co.uk/organon/flash/psychiat.html</a><!-- m --><br />
<br />
Any suggestion appreciated.<!--content-->This is one of the downsides of using dreamweaver and other WYSIWYG editors.<br />
<br />
It's possible however to create compatible HTML.... here's what I'd do.<br />
<br />
Start again at the top of the page.<br />
  • <br />
    Insert a table with 1 cell and add into it the header graphic.<br />
    Insert another table with 2 columns. The first the width of the left navigation and the second the width of what ever the right hand side is.<br />
    Set both vertical alignments to TOP<br />
    Treat each of the 2 columns seperately... to the first add the navigation, etc. And to the second add whatever is on that specific page.<br />
    Finally add a table for the footer graphics, etc.<br />
    [/list=a] <br />
    <br />
    If you don;t understand this, send me the graphics and HTML pages and I'll do it for you in Dreamweaver and send it you back.<br />
