The tables are created with Excel 2000. On some occasions, these tables in HTML format have come out real screwy (the columns get all out of wack) with my Netscape ver. 6.2.1 .... and I use Netscape for browsing! I'm finding more web pages lately that won't load properly with my Netscape Browser. Thanks. I did notice the messed up columns later. My guess is it is either (1) IE/Excel generating some bleeding edge XML/XHTML standard stuff that Netscape/Mozilla has not been able to keep up with or decided not to implement yet. (2) Rumors of evil Microsoft plan to to not use standards and tie things to Microsoft-only world are true and the generated tables use so only Microsoft IE can render them correctly. I have not achieved sufficiently high level of geekdom to understand which one. I just know that it annoys me to have to switch to use Windows while I am using something else just to browse something on what is supposed to be the browse-from-anywhere world wide web. I do use IE/Windows often but just not all the time ... LKO
