In the first row, you set the width of the first cell to 166. In the second row, you set the width of the first cell to 158.
This is equivilant to asking the first column of the table to be both 166 and 158 wide. It confuses a poor computer. You might try to make the first col 158 wide, the second col 8 wide and use colspan=2 in the first row.

If thats not whats bothering you, you might be unhappy with the background img of the cell. Using a background image in a table give uncertain results.

Also instead of [div align="right'], you might try the align="right" attribute inside the TD tag

Are you trying to do something like this?
<table width="90%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td><img src="logoside.gif" width="166" height="95"></td>
<td background="bgtopbar.gif" nowrap height="95" width="100%">
<div align="right"><img src="sidend.gif" width="24" height="95"></div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td background="bgsidebar.gif" width="166" height="400" valign="bottom">
<div align="left"><img src="topend.gif" width="158" height="23"></div>
</td>
<td width="100%">&amp;nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>If you are, to get it looking right you either need to scale down the logoside.gif image, or add some white to the bgtopbar.gif and bgsidebar.gif-- the later would probably be easiest.

That's exactly what I was trying to do.

Thanks, Dusty :)

Just curious. How many times are you going to have people write that page for you? :confused:

as many times as necessary, maybe more.

I'll be sure to get in touch with you next time I need it done.

No need. I already spend half an hour on it 6 months ago cutting that image up and writing a table much like Dusty's.

I know, and I couldn't find that old thread.

It's all good meow :) I did appreciate the help.
