Thanks all – didnt mean to open a can of worms with the request response re tables. I too have read and been told that css should be the standard and try not to use tables but in this case it seems the best way – i have tried it and it works (see https://kidzrfit.co.uk)
might not be the best solution but it works and after a bit of tweaking also works in IE
Thanks for the help and suggestions
Regards
