What the heck have I done to my index page?

Hi Guys,
No I'm not back for another mauling/site review (had no time to start
"fixing" things yet).
However, I have been tweaking a thing or two (text stuff) and tonight I
notice in Firefox & NS that on my index page everything below the nav bar
shunts to the left, big style. OK in IE6 & Opera.
I've checked my code till I'm dizzy looking for an incorrect alignment
setting but can't find it.
(I've only had a few, honest).
I swear everything was OK last time I looked but I just can't find what I've
accidently done to stuff up the content (such as it is) alignment.
A zillion thanks to whoever makes me look really dumb by pointing out what
I'm sure (to you) is a blindingly obvious error.
Oh yeh, it's www.kitchenplans.biz
Looking forward to putting what little hair I have left back in
Gene Stevo.

The table with the nav has a width of 100%. The table with the picture
has a width of 740. Dump the 740 from the second table, and you'll see
better results.

Also, your links at the bottom for "the ultimate collection" and
"ArtiCAD" are triggering events in the browser that cause popup blockers
to stop them. Move the javascript to the A tag, and use an OnClick
event, instead of an OnMouseDown.

Thanks Josh,
That did it. Although I don't know how. The 740px used to be 755px, I only
changed it the other day to get rid of a hoz scroll bar.
All I've got to do now is sort out the rest of the mess I've made of the
tables to straighted the now misaligned links you mention in second post.
Thanks for that as well, I sort that when I've had a kip.
Cheers muchly,
Gene Stevo.

Hi Josh,
Sorry about this but...
I've just re-read that bit about moving the js to the A tag, went to do it
and realised I can recognise js but can't really read it Any chance you
could post what the relevent line should look like for one of the links. I
think even I could work the rest out.
Sorry to be so thick.

Hi Gene, here's an example...

You have:

<a href="javascript:;"><img src="images/articad.gif" alt="ArtiCAD users
page" width="46" height="50" border="0" align="left"
onMouseDown="MM_openBrWindow('/caduser.htm','ArtiCADUser','scrollbars=yes,resizab le=yes,width=800,height=600')"></a>

You want:
<a
href="javascript:MM_openBrWindow('/caduser.htm','ArtiCADUser','scrollbars=yes,resizab le=yes,width=800,height=600');"><img
src="images/articad.gif" alt="ArtiCAD users page" width="46" height="50"
border="0" align="left"></a>

This would at least get you past the popup blockers. The better
solution would be:

<a href="/caduser.htm"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow(this,'ArtiCADUser','scrol lbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=800,height=600')"><i mg
src="images/articad.gif" alt="ArtiCAD users page" width="46" height="50"
border="0" align="left"></a>

which would not only get past the popup blockers, but would still make
the link usable for those with javascript turned off.

Hi Josh,
Thanks a lot. All seams clearer now. I'll implement your suggestions next
time I get stuck into trying to finish this flippin site .
Why does work always come in just when you plan to do something fun?
Thanks again, much appreciated.
