Thanks again folks for your suggestions - I've managed to crack it with only a couple of table->div changes in my recursive nesting algorithm. This should see us right for a while yet.

Sorry phil. Welcome back. Nothing against you. I shouldn't have jumped to that conclusion. Glad you are back.

Thanks DK01 for your confidence in new forum members - just cos we've not had to use such a forum previously does not exclude us from its use I trust?!

The nesting *is* complex and also uses cells to produce tree lines, and effectively tables of information (see attached screenshot). The problem is definitely a TAGLVL issue, cos it occurs at exactly the same level of nesting (regardless of other content) on all pages, and the nesting levels matches that of a simple test page which simply has tables in tables (recurse...)

I'm familar with DIVs and their use in layout, but I fear will struggle to reproduce this layout, without ultimately hitting the same taglvl problem (albeit further down the hierarchy)

Will check up on my DOC (when I'm back in work on Monday) cos presumably there's a version of the HTML spec that has better TAGLVL settings (although it seems the browsers implement their own setting anyway, since the corruption happens at different levels in Firefox and IE)

Thanks anyway folks. Your help is appreciated - hope I can help you too one day (esp. DK01:D)

Tried using CSS Positioning instead? Its usually a lot easier.

You must have some seriously nested tables (10+ deep), are you sure it's the limit and not an error in the coding? does the page validate at w3c.org ?

if it's for tree structures why don't you use CSS

As for over riding, only thing I can think of is to keep it in quirks mode, what DOC tag do you use?
