forum content appears to be affecting tables...

[Richardo P]

Hi again

I'm makin real good progress with my forum design

however ive come up against a bit of a brick wall and would really apreciate som help:

if you look at http://www.rpowells.co.uk almost everyhting is perfect

but look at www.rpowells.co.uk/forum and its far from it

and... i dotn really know why
I thought maybe it could be a conflict betwen the css styles and the settings of my tables?

Please if some one could help me out?

here is the code of the affected tables

hi, yes thanks for the quick reply but it doesnt seem to have worked?

I dont understand...

[Peter Duggan]

here is the code of the affected tables

The first thing I'd do is check that all the elements are opened, closed and nested properly. A quick word count with my text editor tells me you've got 15 instances of 'table', 19 of 'tr' and 43 of 'td', but logically there have to be an even number of each if they've all been given their proper opening and closing tags!
