cannot find that comment in there...

the source is horrific because it is post-parsed HTML from the MS 
HTML rendering engine... sometimes when you save a page from 
IE it gets saved as MSHTML, which is non-compliant and rather 
buggy... if you have the original source before the MS conversion, 
that will make this go much more smoothly (and maybe fix your 
problem)...

otherwise, always check for align attributes, table widths, unclosed 
tags, image widths and heights, etc... i just can't find my way 
through the code, and patching bad code isn't much help, either... 
get the clean code and work from there...
