The discussion revolves around issues with table formatting on a test website created using Dreamweaver. The primary problem is that the left column becomes distorted as the right column grows longer. A suggested solution is to use the <TD NOWRAP> attribute for the left column and to set a fixed width for the cell to maintain proper alignment. The user expresses frustration with Dreamweaver, noting that it complicates table management and leads to unexpected behavior, such as different <tr> elements appearing on the same horizontal line. Overall, the conversation highlights common challenges faced when using Dreamweaver for table layouts.

My test website (I am using dreamweaver)http://members.lycos.co.uk/markrules/ is having some table problems.
