My test website (I am using dreamweaver)http://members.lycos.co.uk/markrules/ is having some table problems. For some reason the longer the right column gets, the more distorted the left column gets, I recall using * a long time ago in the tables height, or something, anyone know what the problem is?
What you should do is use <TD NOWRAP> for the left column. You can also fix the WIDTH of the cell.
