I'm redesigning my website, and for the nav bar at the right, I want everything to be at the top. It renders in Safari correctly, however, in IE for both mac & win it spreads them out and fills the entire side. I found out I can just add a bunch of cells below the buttons, but each page is a varying length, and I don't want to add more cells each time a edit a page. Do I need to add a spacer.gif? I'm not really sure how it works. =) Thanks for you help in advance!

I'm a bit surprised that this validates, because there's something wrong with the table.

The problem begins at line 59/60. You close the td/tr tags too early. Instead you should move all the links inside the td-tag you create at line 59 (this is the menu cell). Separate the tags with br-tags instead of a cell for each link, and add valign=top in the td-tag at line 59 to make them stay at the top of the page. Then you can close the td/tr tags.

Hope that helps. I would paste code, but couldn't make the code-tag work.

code tag doesn't do much except indent, if you want to show html the [ php ] tags will allow you to put the >< brackets in your code
[php]
<td>
</td>
[/php]
