Hail.

This is a customer's page:

http://www.n-cubed.com/mariotest.php

As you can see, it displays a bit goofy.

It uses (amongst other things) "div" which I am not familiar with.

Any ideas what is causing it to display the way it does?

Muchos gracias.

They've got the left menu div inside one
table row, the rest in a second tr. So
everything outside the left menu
displays below it. Muy ugly and unusable.

The displayed items should all be in one table row.

<div align="center">
<table>
<tr>
<td> left menu item </td>
<td> shout box </td>
<td> personality test </td>
<td> affiliates </td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

Each time a table row is created, the next item listed drops below the
previous item just as you see being done here.
Your "client" needs to understand the basics of tables.

a div is just a block-level container

Not the div - it's a tables issue: <

One of the 90 syntax errors (assuming that the author intended to use the
most liberal of HTML varients) perhaps?

Nah. He's my very own Sharif. Young guy, gaming site etc. I helped him
set up his forum. He was just looking for a pointer on the page problem.

I have a cablemodem, and couldn't wait for the site to download. It was
that slow.
