    Are you talking about how the text makes the table cell expand to the side? That's because you didn't define the length of the table cells. (<td>)

    <td length=length specified in pixels (no symbol needed), or percentage>

    examples:

    a table cell 120 pixels in length:

    <td length=120>

    a table cell 20% in length compared to the table:

    <td length=20%>

    Alkaline...you have a lot of peculiar code in there. There should be only one BODY for instance and it shouldn't be at the bottom. Since you have an outer table use that for centering the the content with align="center" in the TD tag rather than with margins in the BODY tag.

    Alas, only the first lessons are still free but they should be enough to get you going.

    No, here's what you had at the bottom of your page. It wasn't for no addy (then you wouldn't have been able to take it away).

    <body background="images/background.gif" text="#000000" link="#ffffff" alink="#000000" vlink="#ffffff" leftmargin=199 topmargin=20 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0>

    IE swallows anything so it applied those margins.

    Your (top) body tag looks like this:
    <!body>
    The exclamation mark has nothing to do there. Take it away and put in the background image and link stuff in that you had in the bottom body tag. Then give the table a width as already suggested. Without that it will stretch like it does now.

    Btw the format for comments is <!-- --> not <!-- --!>
