*sigh*

px is only for CSS. It is not a valid value for ANY HTML attribute save for style="", which is inline CSS.

FONT tags are deprecated, it's better not to use invalid markup in the first place. If you're going to use CSS, use it correctly.

Well, don't post incorrect code then, it's just going to confuse people.

No. HTML doesn't do that with font. I was trying to stress the point to use better cross-browser formating style code.

I don't know what 1lit's site looks like with NS4 since I don't have it. But if it has anything to do with graphics looking spread out or jumbled, then this could be one of the solutions.

Then again, I could be wrong. I just know it has happened to me before and this is how I solved it. It's how I also learned from my mistake.

Interesting... I have never seen font sizes done like that. In CSS, yes, but not size= attribute tags for regular HTML. Does this work? If I used that tag you showed above would it show as 1 px rather than the HTML size 1?

Problems with things not showing up at all in NS are usually because you haven't closed your table tags properly.

Most of the places where size is indicated (size="3") you should specify the type of size (size="3px"). I'm not sure exactly what all must be done this way, like cellpadding="5px", although I do know that CSS is pretty strict about this and is better to use.

i.e.
TEXT
Better to use:
TEXT

Close your table tags, and yes, as Sonia said, clean up that code. You don't want to submit something with that many glaring errors in it.

Any empty table tags should have something in them (didn't look for empty ones) as well.

First of all, on the first page, you need to move your DOCTYPE above the tags. It should always be the first thing on the page. I don't have NS so I can't help you with specifics but if you would try validating your pages it may help you find your problem. You do have several mistakes in your code.

Make sure that your tags are in the proper order. You have some of your closing tags outside of your tags. And some of your linked image tags are improper as well. It should look like this:

<DOCTYPE----blah blah>
<html>
<head>
<title>title goes here</title>
<meta tags go here>
</head>

<body>

<table>
<tr>
<td><font>HELLO</font></td>
<td><a href="http://www.whatever><img src="whatever.gif"></a></td>
</tr>
</table>

</body>
</html>

'
I have never paid for submission but I would think that everything should be tip top before doing so.

Once you get your DOCTYPE in place you can go to http://validator.w3.org/ and validate your pages. Or you can go to netmechanic.com and use their free HTML check.
