Looks ok in Mozilla, but don't know why it looks weird in IE 5.0...

Well, seems to be exactly the same code for all the tables!? Can't find any difference. As you said: It's weird.

GRUMBLE: Very interesting. My guess would be that as the top left cell size isn't specified the browsers have to 'guess' what the sizes are. I suspect that as Jack is the shortest name it is below some threshold and the right cell shifts over. I hope that makes sense. Do something like set the left cell to width="100%" and it should then force the right hand cell to take up the remaining room (its a trick I've used before so it should work or something similar).

GRUMBLE: My fault for not being clear (or supplying the code which would be simpler than typing all that):

code:
<table bgcolor="#eeeeee" border="1"><tr><td width="100%"><a
href="mailto:jakob.schmaus@gmx.at">Jack</a></td><td
width="200">30.12.2001&nbsp;&nbsp;23:30</td></tr><tr><td colspan=2>Finde,
dass viele zu wenig über Kinderrechte wissen.</td></tr></table><p>



Try that - the 100% width is now set on the left cell (I've not tested this though so it could go wrong).

only problem is that the width=200 from the right cell isnt working anymore now.

GRUMBLE: I see - that wasn't a problem for me. I would suggest you try using a 75:25 percent split across the two cells.

To preserve 200 pixels width when other cell is set to 100% simply put transparent gif that has width set to 200...

<TR>
<TD WIDTH="100%">blah blah blah</TD>
<TD WIDTH=200><IMG SRC="dot_clear.gif" WIDTH="200" HEIGHT="1"></TD>
</TR>
