Table width difference in Firefox vs Explorer

[xx75vulcan]

Can anyone take a look at my page, and tell my why Firefox adds extra
height to my table when Explorer doesnt?

Its the red bar in the middle of the page, with the drop down menus. If
you look at it in explorer, the height of the bar is fine. If you look
at it in Firefox, there seems to be an extra 20 pxls worth of space
added to the height.

I discovered if I take out the code for the Hotlinks, the space of the
bar is correct in both firefox and explorer, But I cant figure out
whats wrong with it.

Add this -

style="margin-bottom:0;"

to each form tag in that red area.

Oh man, that worked perfectly!

Thank you so much!

Never forget that <form> tags have inherent margins (as do many other HTML
tags). They can bite you if you do! 8)

The menu bar looks fine in Firefox (but I see you've since changed it on
Murray's advice)

OK....the issue I have is the slow time for showing the drop down menus in
IE 6.0.

In FF it's immediate, but with IE it seems to request from the server each
time and takes 15-30 sec to drop/display the menus each time. (especially
the ones with a lot of options).

One other thing, do you have a script that redirects the site to an
"Opera-friendly" site? I tried to load the page in question in Opera and it
redirects to a page showing a green navigation bar, rather than the one with
your dropdown menus.

Howdy,

Yes, the menu has a built in re-direct page for browsers that have
Javascript turned off. I didn't want users to be stuck wtihout any
navigtion, so I put in a detection, and a re-direct.

It currently re-directs to our old site. The URL I gave to diagnosis,
is our new site template, that isn't bug-free just yet. One of the
final stages before going live with it, is to build and link the page
for users without javascript enabled.

Man, I can't thank you all enough for helping me look at this from
every angle!!!

Much Thanks!

Problem is I didn't have JS turned off in Opera and still redirects to the
alternate page.

Redirects are usually flaky....

Interesting, maybe I'll take that redirect thingy out then!

Thanks for the suggestions!
