I am having difficulty with some alignment issues with browsers and hoping someone could help. I am using a table alignment but the problem that I have is that in IE 5 for the mac the browser renders the table with some sort of indentation of the left side of approximately ten pixels.

With the top image aligned to the left side there is still a space over there such that it does not align flush with the left side of the page.

Strangely, this seems to occur only in IE 5 for the mac, not in IE 4.5 for the mac, or netscape for the mac. It also does not occur in IE 5.5 for the PC. I havent tried it in IE 4 or Netscape for the PC yet.

Does anyone know what causes this?
Does anyone know a solution or workaround or some way to get images/tables aligned flush with the left side of the page once they are rendered in IE 5 for the mac?

Here is a screenshot of how the same page appears in Netscape (above) and in IE 5 (below).



As you can see there is a cushion of about ten pixels for the IE rendering on the image.

Didn't check the link, but have you used :

<body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0">
all screens are superwide

It appears your problem isn't from the table itself, rather it's coming from the <P></P> tags around your images. Get rid of them, and all should be well.
