The table containing the links { portfolio etc....
It only occurs in IE7 it seems. Fine in IE6.

And click portfolio > click top left thumb > lightbox doesnt feel like aligning either (in FF)

Thanks!

Try validating your code, it may very well solve your problems:

roto =)

I validated in dreamweaver, most of the errors are basic alt stuff which won't really affect layout. I did a browser compatibility check and got no errors.

The code got very (unnecessarily) complex quickly. But the basic table alignment is still puzzling.

I learn't my lesson lol :

Do not use HTML tables to lay out web pages

The errors may be effecting your layout more than you realize. The problem with code with errors is that the browser has to come up with a way to interpret those errors, since the code isn't written properly. This can cause the browser to do some funny things with your code, such as not properly centering things...

You say you did a browser compatibility check, but your biggest check is failing - your site isn't working, which is why you posted this thread. Fix the base problems first, and if that doesn't work then at least you have eliminated that.
