Weird HTML Table Problem in IE

Sometimes table contents would be rendered on top of each other in IE

[sichen1234]

Hello. I know there's been a lot of IE postings on this recently. I have an odd problem which I just don't understand (but probably is not the subject of a patch.)

Sometimes, when I have content laid out side by side in a table, using <tr><td>, on some IE browsers (this one is a 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp1.020828-1920), the contents will sometimes be laid on top of one another. If I hit refresh it is fixed. It is also not consistently happening on the same page but this is what it looks like:
<Sorry, no personal URLs. See TOS [webmasterworld.com]>

I've tried changing the width of my tables and columns, removing all the width tags, etc., but none of that has changed. It still occasionally happens. Does anyone know why or have a suggestion on how to fix my HTML?

Thanks,

Si Chen

Have you run your page through an HTML validator [validator.w3.org]? Are you using any CSS positioning?

Thanks for your help.

I have run it through the validator you suggested and fixed all the bugs.

I am not using any css positioning.

However, the same problem still happens--occasionally, just on this version of IE...
