Hi guys,
http://www.castworks.com.au/template_castworks.html
Having some problems with this site -- it validates ok but as you will
see the tables are displaying way off.

In Firefox -- the second td with the text is displaying underneath the
first td instead of alongside it
in IE -- the second td has a huge indent before the text, and the list
isnt showing the bullet points

Any ideas?

Well, what *I* see is that there aren't any tables.

Or, at my house, in FF there is no td at all, but the #copy div (what
you presumably mean by second td, with %content% in it) has an indent to
the left, down on the left side below the menu. There is no list, either
<ol> or <ul>, and so you needn't expect any bullets.

In IE, the #copy div is way up at the top.

Your CSS features the bewildering
#right {
float:left;
...}

You seem to be over-specifying your CSS, and attempting to achieve
pixel-perfect layout based on an assumption about viewport and font
sizes. You're specifying font sizes in px, so users of IE<7 can't change
the size. You're using font-size:12px, which is too small; use 100%
instead. But the URL you provided seems to not match your post, anyway.

Got a different URL?
