Font size specified in pixels (I assume). Non resizable in IE.

When the font size *is* changed from the stupidly small size suggested by
the author the "table" falls apart totally.

Your point, except for exhibiting a very badly designed site?

Cheers
Richard.

I don't see what the point was, either.

FWIW, it's far from perfect but not as badly designed as a lot of other
sites that get posted here. At least it's not fixed-width. Font
sizes *are* stupidly small, though, and they don't know how to properly
layout tabular data. Color contrast in the sidebar is poor, too.

What was the point? -- a clue for you --
You and your down-under mate are 'creatively disabled' not 'creatively
challenged' so never have 'challenging' moments.
(I make that comment based on 'works' posted here from both of you ...in
your case the site you cobbled for some painter guy!)
If you ever enjoyed challenging moments you would appreciate that it is nice
to turn somewhere when inspiration is not flowing for a new layout. One such
place could be the URL I posted. You could even correct its 'mistakes' and
impose your own ideas along the way, if you had any.

Maybe you would like to post a URL which you might find 'creatively
inspirational'??
(I realise you will find this difficult to do, but what the heck, I will
continue to enjoy laughing at my net toys)

Very nice layout and color scheme! I'm always jealous when I see such a
ranking in the Google toolbar (6 out of 10)
Inspirational indeed (except for the technique of course :-)

Headings should use proper heading tags.

Address should use a proper <address /> element.
