I can't figure out what is going on. I've tried everything and nothing is fixing it.<br />

First of all, nothing it aligned correctly in mozilla.<br />
<br />
Second, There's two tables right beside eachother at the bottom of the page. I can't get them both to stretch. I've only gotten one to stretch and the other to stay the same size. <br />
<br />
I know it has to be something wrong with my percents, but I can't figure out what's wrong with them.<br />
<br />
Please help!<!--content-->ok, now that I have had a chance to look at it in mozilla. the first thing tha tI saw was the news.gif was way to small. the image is 200 and you have it set to 61. also the other thing I saw was the table_edges. the left ones will need to be turned around because the table corners are making it split apart. other than that it looks good.<br />
<br />
I thought you already had this fixed?<!--content-->Does the image size of the news make that big of a problem. I resized the image and forgot to upload the edited one so it looks like that.<br />

What do you mean? For me in mozilla it looks like complete crap. <br />
<br />
I had fixed it, but when I tried to make those two tables that are side by side stretch equally, it screwed everything up. Which is one of my problems, i can't figure out how to get those two to stretch equally!<!--content-->show me what you see.<!--content-->OK, lemme get a screenshot. I'll circle all of the problems I'm having.<!--content-->this is what I see.<br />
<br />
also the bottom part is messed up at the right bottom corner. seems you are short a rowspan.<br />
<br />
also for a tip, those center table are made to come out seperatly. that is the beauty of it. that way you can get it to work like you want so you can test things.<!--content-->OK, i've circled everything that doesn't look good. And when you resize the page those 2 bottom tables both don't resize.<!--content-->Originally posted by scoutt <br />

Yahi can't figure out how to fix the right bottom corner. What do I do witha rowspan? What center tables are made to come out seperately?<!--content-->ok, this is what's going on.<br />
<br />
those table edges I already told you that you need to flip them over to align them like the other side.<br />
<br />
the bottom right corner is fine, it is the whole left side that is pushing the whole table down. in all reality the table is bigger then you first told it.<br />
<br />
what you need to do it take something off the right side in order to fix the right side.<!--content-->Originally posted by hockyfan641 <br />

I forgot about the table sin the middle. each table, the news table, is a seperate table and can be taken out and the site will still work.<br />
<br />
I really think you need to read up on nesting tables. it really isn't that hard.<!--content-->I can't rotate the table_edge image. THey are symmetric, same on both sides.<br />

^that's the table_edge image<br />
in all reality the table is bigger then you first told it. <br />
How is that?<br />
<br />
What do you mean take something off the left side? <br />
<br />
I'll check w3schools for some info on nesting tables.<!--content-->you might try cellpading or cellspacing for the table edges.<br />
<br />
How is that?<br />
because you have so much stuff on the left side it is making the table bigger so it is pushing it down and the middle and right have to stretch.<br />
<br />
nesting table s is easy.<br />
<br />
<table><br />
<tr><br />
<td><table><br />
<tr><br />
<td>some text</td><br />
</tr><br />
</table></td><br />
</tr><br />
</table><br />
<br />
see the red table? that is nested and can be taken out if you wanted. that is all there is to nested tables.<!--content-->OK, I'll take out some stuff on the left side. But there should be space between the table_edge and right orange side bar without doing cell padding.<br />
<br />
So how am I going to fix the problem with the tables not working and the table_edges not being aligned with the corners?<!--content-->No closing / on the <img> tag:<br />
