Topic: Table cell widths change

Does anyone know why the sidebar on my site changes width on some pages.

(The left border doesn't stay still, it changes position on all pages.)

Weird - it looks fine to me (in IE6, at least) on all the top-level pages (Log, Archives, Author, Links), and doesn't move at all.

What browser are you having the trouble in?

I looked at this early this morning and I did notice a small change in the table width. Why ??? i haven't the slightest clue.
but Billy is right about the table also shifting due to the scroll bar that appears on some pages. Your site looks clean and I don't think many people will notice it. But if you do figure out what's going on lemme know.

well I only see a change when there is any content in the sidebar (say, log v. links pages). I also see that you have the td width set in two places, in your css and in the <td>. perhaps they are conflicting a bit when there is no content in sidebar.

also, I see that you have height for content td, but not sidebar td. don't know how that would have an effect, but it is a difference. also, I have often had bad results with the &nsp as place holders.

no magic bullet, just a few ideas.
