shared border not equal on all IE browsers/computers

[birdman]

I am not sure what the problem is here. I have a shared border with an outer table and an inner table. On almost all browers I try it on the shared border looks right, but occasionally the inner table will show up with a width reduced by about 30 pixels. Below is the code. I have looked and the IE version is 6.2 and works in some cases and not others.

<div align="left">
<table border="0" width="151" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" height="1000">
<tr>
<td width="151" height="1000" rowspan="2" valign="top" bgcolor="#00ACFF" align="left">
<table border="1" width="151" height="1000" bordercolor="#000080">
<tr>
<td width="151" height="1000" valign="top" bgcolor="#99CCFF"><b>

Presume this is related to

(you should have just followed up in your original thread)

You problem is many browsers do not support your inline styles in your content
<p align="left" style="margin-left: 40; margin-right: 0; margin-top: -5; margin-bottom: 8">
- remove them and either use <blockquote> (indent) or split columns

PS
remove the height attributes from table and cells - not globally supported

Stefan: Thanks. The odd thing is that the problem I see is for the same browser version (IE6.02) on two different machines. I t works on one and not the other. I thought Inline styles only have problems with older browsers?

If I remove the Height values, how do I keep my left border at around 1000 pixels in length (or better yet, the length of the page - some pages may be much longer than others and I want the left border to stretch the length of the full page).

Thanks for your help.
