Firefox Vs IE, Table pushing page out of place

hi,this is hard to explain lol

the right hand side of the page with news events, telford tigers, sheffeild steelers and who we are, i have dropped a table over the top

the image sidemenuhome.png size is 192 x 399
i made the table 190 wide so theres a 2 pixel gap on either side.so i can fill the info in in the table

the problem accurs when i write in the boxes it pushes the table down, knocking the page size out of place, where it starts to repeat its self,

at the moment in IE i cannot write anymore with out the table dropping down, but the page is still how it should be

but when i open this in firefox, it drops the page down abit, why doe sfire fox do this?

this is the website, not finshed yet but still working hard on it

anyone that could help, would be great Very Happy

or any hints or tips that could help me would be appreciated (especially on getting the writing in place )

thanks

OK. I'll work on your page and see what I can do to it today.

All the "Warning: <a> escaping malformed URI reference" ones means you have white space in your paths, i.e., "my home page.html" will be read by many browsers as just "page.html". If you must make paths/names like that, use the space character, "%20", or underscrore, "_": "my%20home%20page.html" or "my_home_page.html".

The doctype you are using does not allow certain table attributes to be used the way you are using them. Best to provide a class style for all like tags, like the td tag for "background" or use inline CSS for each tag instead.

You have an "XHTML 1.0 Transitional" doctype with only a few coding errors so you did very well, very well.

just a re-cap then

when i come to naming pages insted of just using spaces, i have to use "%" or "_" so the browser can read the full name ? right?

and tags, i dont have a clue what they do lol
over my head that is, r u able to expand abit on them please for me

and for this bit, is it just re linking the picture ?

Code:
<tr>
<td height="2" colspan="7" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><img src="file:///C|/Users/ETHAN FALCONER/Documents/Eurologix Website/About us Html/close-the-gap.jpg" width="2" height="2" /></td>
</tr>#

thanks m8, really appreciate it Very Happy

For this document type, coding is much stricter:
