First, your html page will validate at w3c if you add character
encoding, but that is not the problem.
I am on Windows XP with all updates. I have the most recent versions of
browsers to be mentioned. On 4 browsers I get 4 different views. All
have about the same screen width, using a large portion of a 1024 px
wide screen. However the screen height of the table varies greatly. On
Firefox, the height is the smallest, and everything is spaced in an
even manner in the vertical direction. Both IE6 and Opera give a much
larger table height. Everything is fairly evenly spaced in the vertical
direction on IE6. However on Opera the spacing is even until you get to
the bottom area for the second square, and this is much larger than the
other vertical spacings. The old Netscape 4.8 likely does not
understand the CSS well and gives no lines in the table. To me this is
no problem since the Netscape 4 series is all but gone.
I am going to leave it to a table person to explain what is going on. I
hate tables, and have not used them in a long time, so I am not very
up-to-date concerning the finer points of table usage.
