Thanks Suzanne.

I'll try it and post here if I have any further problems.

yes -- instead of using cells, used nested tables. valign the outer two cells in the holding table to the top, then they will stay there no matter what else you do with the middle cell.

Thanks for replying dk01.

I've already tried doing... well, lots of things, really, involving the height property of tr's and td's. Even tried using css heights. Nothing seems to create a fixed/flex height.

The widths are pretty much organised. I have no problem there (and haven't before --with the mixed measurements).
About the widths: I need to have the main table span the whole width of the screen but to have the nav remain at one width, as the rounded corner images in the navbar are of fixed width.
The vertical gaps between the cells are only caused by the border taking up space.

Upon reviewing my earlier post it seems I was a little unclear.
If anyone is unsure what I'm trying to achieve, then view the page in Opera 6. Opera renders the page as I want it, but IE6, NS6 and NS4.7 don't.

Offhand I would say to set the heights for the first two 's and not to set it for the third but I am not sure how this would work. You page is neatly organized but it makes me nervous to see pixel and percent mesurements used together in tables like that. If you could change the width from 100% to some pixel measurement then it might be easier to get your tables to line up correctly.
