Netscape formatting problem

Why do my images move?

In my profile site there is a randomly selected listing appearing on the front page and a number of other pages. With Netscape 4.7 the picture appears in the wrong place, and not even the same wrong place each time at that. I'm picking that it's something in the alt tabs for the image, but I'm not sure.

I'm hoping some kind soul can cast some light on it. Reload the page once or twice to see different results.

I'm getting the image in the same place every time, but a different place in MSIE 5 than in NS 4.

I heavily suspect it's a table problem, actually. My hunch would be to leave out width="100%" in the first <table> tag and see what happens. Also check for left-out closing tags and improper nesting.

A good way to check tables is to set border="1". That usually shows up coding problems. YOu should also try validating your page.

I have validated it. It's only picking some problems with the image used to submit the search form.

I'll take a look at that width this evening.
