I have a problem with certain pages on my site which is driving me nuts. Although fine on Firefox, the header section of certain pages doesnt line up correctly with the rest of the page using explorer. Please see http://www.squeezephotos.com/members/showVenueCategory.php for example. The header section is an include, but its fine on the homepage for example?

Could anyone tell me what to look for? The pages that use PHP were written for me so i really wouldnt know where to start. If further info is needed just let me know.

If you make the width of the table in the page you linked to 766 instead of 762 my guess is that it will line up. The root of the problem is that IE will only use width as a guideline, if the contents of a box is wider than the width you've set, IE will increase the size of the box.

The table to change is:

<!--Banner -->
<table bgcolor="#f8f8f6" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="762">

I couldn't test whether that's definitely the problem though, the page won't save properly.
