hi kevin

it's the difference in the text content under the pictures, combined with
no restriction on the width of the table

in test1.html there's a big block of text, enough to push the table all the
way out to the edge of the window (in fact it wraps to several lines)

in test2.html, the text is only one line, not as wide as the window, and
consequently the table isn't pushed out as far

you can control this by putting a restriction on how wide the table is
allowed to be

what i would do is set the table width to something like width=500, because
that looks approximately like how wide it should be with the titles, tag
lines, etc. beside the pictures, any wider and those will start to drift to
the right away from the picture
