<sound of hair being torn out>

George,

IRT.ORG is just plain wrong. There is absolutely no need to use this
completely invalid HTML to render your form properly.

Just do:

<table>
  <form>
    <tr>
      <td>form elements go here...
      </td>
    </tr>
  </form>
</table>

OR:

<table>
  <tr>
    <form>
      <td>form elements go here...
      </td>
    </form>
  </tr>
</table>




Best of all, Dreamweaver tends to handle this without choking. (At
least, v3 does, not 100% certain about 2.)

Right, I'm off to drop-kick some kittens. (And whoever is in charge of
IRT.) Grrrrrr.


Seb.
