Hi, I am here to request support from anyone that has idea's on
cross-browser HTML (Mainly Firefox and IE).
My personal website http://trammel.no-ip.info works fine on Firefox but IE
decides to crush the left table (ingnoring that there is no breakable
spaces).
I tried using nowrap already and IE still forces a wrap of the text in the
menu... thats why I tried using non-breaking spaces instead of normal
ones... so there was nowhere to break (however IE still takes no notice and
wraps it).
Anyone got any idea's on a fix that would work for both browsers (Firefox
already works)?
Thanks in advance for you time & for reading this post. 22 2472

You have a peculiar array of non-breaking space indented text and nested
tables which I don't really want to even consider advising *much* about,
other than it's not a brilliant thing to do, and that nested lists (which
they are) with suitable CSS rules for indenting and other styling, is
probably better.
However, the wrapping problem that I can see with MSIE is at the hyphens,
not anywhere that you've used between words. MSIE is like that, it
does annoying and/or stupid things.
You can try putting nowrap as an attribute into the table cell [1], though
it's a deprecated technique and mightn't work in all situations. You can
apply a "white-space: pre" CSS style rule [2] in whatever element you don't
want to wrap, and that'll probably work in more situations.
1: e.g. <td nowrap>somethin g that's wrapping</td>
2: e.g. <td style="white-space:pre;">som ething that's wrapping</td>

I usually say this in defense of Mozilla and Firefox, but in this
case it will be in defense of IE. Your page is non-standard.
<URL:http://validator.w3.or g/> reports 84 HTML 4.01 errors.
<URL:http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/> reports 2 style-sheer
errors.
<URL:http://webxact.watchfi re.com/ScanForm.aspx> reports 22
instances of violations of WAI WCAG-1 Level A (the least
restrictive level for judging accessibility for the handicapped).
With the detected bugs in the Web page, it is not possible to
determine whether IE or the page itself is at fault.

You have too many unnecessary tables. Plus, IE displays tables better when
they are nested. You shouldn't leave tables floating like you do. Some of
yours are nested, but most are not. And there are much better ways to build
that navigation bar. Here's a free one: http://www.coffeecup.com/free-dhtml/
Have you set all your table borders to "1" just to see what your page
structure looks like? Have you ever used transparent .gifs as spacers? They
work well to control page layout. They, too, should be used sparingly.

Thanks for the links to validators... they helped a little to tidy my pages
code... but I didnt ask for help tidying it up by adding "Alt's" to links
and "px" after the CSS width's :¬/
I modifed the CSS to add "px" after the pixel widths however... so no moew
CSS errors
....and the only HTML errors are things like "Background is not valid in TD"
which is obviously wrong as its working in both IE & Firefox...
....and most of it is "errors" that I didnt bother putting Alt's for 1-pixel
images... OMG! How could I be so careless with my 1x1 pixel images?!?!!!?!
Im guessing from the amount of people complaining about not liking nested
tables & pointing out stupid error-logs from "validators " that I dont use
ALT tags in images (and other unrelated rubbish) that nobody here knows a
fix to stop IE from crushing a table that it shouldn't?
And frankly... there wont be any disabled people visiting my personal
webpage so I dont give a flying f*ck if they cant read the ALT tags for 1x1
pixel images!
If you dont have a fix then PLEASE dont post shite from "validators " that
say my code wont work because of things like no "Alt" tags in images >:¬O
If you hadn't gathered.... ALT tags and all the other rubbish returned as
"errors" are either false (like saying there is no background option in the
TD element.... which DOES work to show images) or aren't even errors and
intentionally left out (like ALT tags)...
....and no... none of that has ANY relevance to the table crushing by itself
in IE!!!!
To anyone reading this: Sorry... irrelevant "errors" being pointed out to
me just because someone is unable to help kinda got me pissed :¬/

You have to have some sort of unit of measurement with CSS. With HTML, if
a unit is not a percentage, then it is a pixel. With CSS, you can have
points, picas, centimeters, inches, millimeters, pixels, ems, exes and
percentages; hence the need to specify the unit. I modifed the CSS to add "px" after the pixel widths however... so no moew CSS errors ...and the only HTML errors are things like "Background is not valid in TD" which is obviously wrong as its working in both IE & Firefox...
It might "work" in both IE and Firefox, but it's still invalid. The reason
it is invalid is because it is deprecated in favor of CSS. Why is CSS
better? If a client decides tomorrow that they want seasonal colors, then
the author has to go into each td and make that change, instead of making
one change in a style sheet.
...and most of it is "errors" that I didnt bother putting Alt's for 1-pixel images... OMG! How could I be so careless with my 1x1 pixel images?!?!!!?!
If an image is for decoration only and does not convey anything, then leave
the alt attribute blank, alt="". Im guessing from the amount of people complaining about not liking nested tables & pointing out stupid error-logs from "validators " that I dont use ALT tags in images (and other unrelated rubbish) that nobody here knows a fix to stop IE from crushing a table that it shouldn't?
Nested tables are a PITA to debug. They also take longer to load, and are
more prone to errors. And frankly... there wont be any disabled people visiting my personal webpage so I dont give a flying f*ck if they cant read the ALT tags for 1x1 pixel images!
Again, leave the value of the alt attribute blank, alt="". How do you know
that no disabled people are going to visit your personal webpage? If your
personal webpage is on the Internet, then you really don't know who is
going to visit.
Further, because it IS a personal page, you should take pride in it. It is
a reflection of you, and your work. How do you know some potential
employer isn't going to view the page and run it through a validator? If you dont have a fix then PLEASE dont post shite from "validators " that say my code wont work because of things like no "Alt" tags in images >:¬O
You have more serious validation errors than missing alt attributes. For
example, you have <font>....<tabl e>... In the first place, a font element
can't hold a table element, and second, font is also deprecated in favor of
CSS.
It might work with this markup now, but, it might not work for other
browsers now and in the future. And yes, there are browsers other than FF
and IE. If you hadn't gathered.... ALT tags and all the other rubbish returned as "errors" are either false (like saying there is no background option in the TD element.... which DOES work to show images) or aren't even errors and intentionally left out (like ALT tags)... ...and no... none of that has ANY relevance to the table crushing by itself in IE!!!!
The validator does not return false errors. It is a tool to help you find
out why something is not working the way you want it to. Fix the errors
first, and then see if it might not have cleared up. Fixing the alt error
is very simple, just do a search and replace, eg: replace {<img src} with
{<img alt="" src} (curly brackets added for clarity) and you'll be good to
go. To anyone reading this: Sorry... irrelevant "errors" being pointed out to me just because someone is unable to help kinda got me pissed :¬/

I know exactly why IE is breaking your tables. I know exactly how to
fix it. But because you're clearly a right little shit, I'm not going
to bother wasting any time on you, and I bet I'm not he only one. Bye.
