Wow, doesn't even display any images except in IE!
Well, then I would do it as my last "bookends" example with the
"bookends" image as your repeated columns then the top figurines would
be absolute positioned images:
#leftMonk, #rightMonk { display: block; position: absolute; }
#leftMonk { top: 0; left: 0; }
/* Replace [NN] with the width of you image to place top-right corner */
#rightMonk { top: 0; left: 100%; margin-left: -[NN]px; }
And at the very start of you document add:
<img id="leftMonk" src="A.jpg" alt="Left Figure">
<img id="rightMonk" src="B.jpg" alt="Right Figure">
....
This would work in IE and *other* browsers. Also fix some markup errors.
Dump the table layout. Add doc type at very top:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
remove the pseudo-XHTML formating, e.g.:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./ch_home.css"/>
^
DELETE
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./ch_home.css">

Take care,
