table line underneath my navbar header only in firefox. it doesn't show up in
safari. does anyone know what causes this and how to fix this?

Can't replicate your yellow line in Firefox 2.0 on XP PC.
But your huge animated gif (mpv-banner.gif) is not showing.

Hello,

I see it, but it goes away when I make the text size bigger in FF ( ctrl+ +)

It's hard to tell what's causing that, as the code is filled with colspans,
rowspans and spacer.gifs.

Smaller text sizes break the layout.
The hard part is finding where the text size is breaking things.
When everything is in one table with so many table cells merged, a change
like this in acell can ripple across the page and affect something no where
near it.
That makes it very hard to determine where the trouble is.It's a very
fragile layout.
Perhaps giving all the divs and td's around that area a white background
will help. It looks like the background is showing through. I know that
isn't optimal, but with all the spans it's hard to decipher.

For more info:

I'll take another look at it and see if I can spot anything in the mix.

Take care,
Tim

hmm really? the mpv banner isnt showing up? thats weird it shows up in my firefox...the yellow line was on like the where to buy and contact pages??

hah thats weird..thanks for checking it out tho

i wonder if people will know to make the text size bigger. i didn't want to
make the text size huge on the page bc it would be bulky looking. hmm i never
knew the layout was so fragile. what do you suggest? put things in numerous
tables and not put a bunch into one? thanks so much for the link also! i got
what it says but i dont know if it will affect how my layout looks.
