At <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://mywebpages.comcast.net/designengineering">http://mywebpages.comcast.net/designengineering</a><!-- m --> , the links and/or table slightly moves immeaditely after I click on it. This problem only occurs with half the links llisted on the site (SERVICES, GENERAL EXPERIENCE, USEFUL LINKS AND CONTACT).<br />

What is wrong/different with these four pages? Why is my browser moving the table slighltly down in on link, left in another, and up in another?<!--content-->First of all, you shouldn't use tables at all for your page lay-out. Several threads in this forum will explain to you why. However, if you choose to use them anyway, make sure that the width of any <td> that should not resize is not a % but an actual amount of pixels, like <td width="150">.<br />

<!--content-->Hey, call me dense if you will, but I've used a table to format my page. I've given the table a width of 750 pixels, but then I've used % to give the size to all my <td>'s and <tr>'s. What's wrong with that?<!--content-->The simple reply is tables are used for tabular data. CSS is used for formatting.<!--content-->So there isn't anything really wrong with it. There's no huge problems that can be caused by this?<!--content-->You can look at the "why tables are stupid" link in my sig for more info, but let's say you create a website template that uses a table based layout. You then go and create a number of pages based on the layout. Now, you want to change the layout. You would have to go through and change each of your pages as where a CSS based layout only needs the externally linked CSS file to be changed. The link below shows an example of a tableless layout and various external CSS files which do all of the dirty work.<br />

It's just the difference in the text in the links on each page. Some combinations take more horizontal space to wrap.<!--content-->
