It works in IE 5 and 6, but does not work in Firefox 0.8 and 0.9. The tabular data (like my name, phone #, etc) does not display in the correct columns, or even sometimes on the correct lines. This is from a corporate phone directory website. Thanks, Dave A. PS. Is there a way I can attach a graphic screen shot of what I am actually seeing on my browser? ======================================================= <html> <head> <title>Search Result</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;

Just display this page as-is. Expected Results: Render the same page under IE5 or IE6, and the data aligns in the proper row/column.
...from what I can tell, the layout depends on setting widths and heights with css to span elements, which I think is nonsensical since span is an inline element. Why the page would first use a table for non-tabular data, and then fail to use a table for the tabular data, is beyond me...
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/ might wanna look at that. To take a screenshot hit print screen, paste and save in an image editor.
