And then this is the text part i'm aligning over an image
<td colspan="5" rowspan="19">
<div id="container">
<div style='position: absolute; left: 700px; top: 255px; height: 359px; width: 484px;'>
<p class='style1 style2 style'>About MRsupport</p>
<p class='style1'>Hello and welcome to MRsupport. MRsupport is a personal service run by me Michael Riccioni. For years now I have been number one on speed dial for friends and family as soon as a computer related problem popped up, so I decided in my spare time I would run this service to help others who live locally to me. (located in Burton Latimer, Kettering)</p>
<p class='style1'>I work as a computer engineer during the day but deal only with business’s ranging from 1 to 2 employees and also those which employ 100+, so i come across everything from stand alone PC’s, Servers (2003/SBS2003/2000/Exchange) and large networks.</p>
<p class='style1'>The difference with this service is it is aimed at the home computer user. Common problems like setting up wireless broadband, or data recovery/transfer (such as pictures, music and videos).</p>
<p class='style1'>I offer a range of services as well as competitive prices compared to those of well known companies with the added benefit of fast service (no need to wait 7 days just to find out whats wrong with your machine), It’s simple, you drop the PC/Laptop in to the shop then I aim to fix have the computer ready for collection within a minimum of 48 hours and no later than 96 hours. </p>
<p class='style1'>And what’s more if I am unable to fix the problem then you don’t pay a single penny, so there’s really nothing to lose!</p>
</div>

Any Ideas?
<!--[if gt IE 6]>this will also offer the non-standard CSS to IE8 when it is released. Id' suggest to make it:
<!--[if IE 7]>
I see don't see a reset (or setting) of margins and padding on the <p>. If I were to ever try matching positioning of a table cell with an absolutely positioned block (I'd never try it), Id'start with a
* {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
If you know the number of pixels to shift it, why not simply add it to the conditional comment ?
Something somewhere in that table giving your table content a nudge (e.g. one cell with a bit too much content...) is enough to wack it all out of alignment.
Since you know how to do absolute positioning, why bother with a table (that has colspan="5" rowspan="19" and as such must be a nightmare to maintain)
