I apologize for mistaking your question for malace.
The shadows on the side of the text is made up of 3 images (top
corner, middle, bottom corner). When the radio button is selected the
size is increased 400 pixels to accomidate the size. Also there are
two spacers in the bottom corners which also increase in size the same
amount to strech the table. What is happening (which is what I want
to not happen) is that the other cells in the table increase in size
even though the images are not changed. In the other broswers, the
other cells stay their original sizes (before selecting a radio
button) and thus no gaps between the image borders and the cell
borders.

The table was created by exporting images slices to html from
FireWorks. I'm using FireWorks MX and after some searching I see that
starting with MX 2004 you can export to CSS layout instead of html. I
have the disk at home but never installed it since the version I had
work. I've never been one to upgrade an application for the sake of
newest and not patches or bug fixes.
