No, I'd recommend using CSS to set the borders, but if using the , it's a better solution than a transparent pixel image.

Ok it seems to work for me now. I just put some empty paragraph tags to replace the non-breaking space. Would you recommend putting in a 3 pixel wide transparent image instead of the empty ?

font-family: sans-serif;

Okay, I'm looking at it, and other than the size of the text changing when it goes to sans-serif, there is no other shift on the page.

The reason things aren't working is because you're trying to use a non-breaking space to keep the cells open and the space is larger than the 3px limit you're setting.

THAT has NOTHING to do with it being sans-serif, in the body, et cetera, but everything to do with font size, since you're not using CSS, but using spaces and cells instead and the size of the space is dependent on the size of the font.

Ahhh it worked on netscape (the newest one) and on IE 5.0 but it wont work on IE 6.0 (same unalignment prob).

So I tried to some stuff and now I can't get the text to be sans serif. I am going crazy here, I cannot see why it wont go to sans serif. go to http://www.chumpchange.org/main/ to view the problem

body {
font-family : sans serif;
background: #E7E7E7 url("bg_image.jpg") no-repeat top right;
padding-left:4%;
}

img.coin_postion {
position : absolute;
top : 5px;
right : 22%;
}

td.content {
padding-left : 6px;
padding-right : 6px;
padding-bottom : 6px;
}

td.links {
padding-left : 6px;
padding-right : 6px;
padding-top : 2px;
padding-bottom : 1px;
}

Thank you so much renegade. I think the biggest problem was the sans-serif should have been sans serif (no hyphen). It works flawless now.

Renegade, you make my jaw hurt sometimes.

Change:

body
{
background: #E7E7E7
url("bg_image.jpg")
no-repeat
top right;
padding-left:4%;
}

to:

body
{
background: #E7E7E7 url("bg_image.jpg") no-repeat top right;
padding-left:4%;
font-family: sans serif;
}

It should work...
