First, try and learn to express yourself in normal English. This includes
starting a sentence with a capital letter, such as "A", "B", etc.
Second, include a URL if you have a problem with a specific page, unless
you wish to prevent people from helping you with the page.
Third, don't set font size in points, and certainly not to 9pt.
And don't set table width.

Oh, and don't forget to run your CSS code through the useful CSS checker
mistakenly called "CSS validator". It will report errors like the above.

Don't do that either.
