Problems with my website.

[algernon]

Hello everybody.
First of all my website is http://www.madpaintballer.com

The website runs fine in firefox but when i open it in Internet Explorer, the main table swells out and is out of poportion with the rest of the page.

this is a picture of the page in IE

this is how it is supposed to look (in firefox)

i have located the problem but i dont know how to fix it.
the problem is the leaderboard adsense ad

when i remove it, everything is good. why would an ad mess everything up? what's going on? how do i fix it? any help would be greatly appreciated

Try using CSS instead of tables for positioning (www.w3schools for info on how to do this). Nested tables (aka, tables within tables) act screwey sometimes from one browser to the next, as they were originally designed to show craploads of data (aka, like a spreadsheet), in a sensible form, not for page layout. I would assume this would be your problem, as IE is a shitty non-standards-complient browser that tries to "guess" what you are trying to do, vs. just taking the code literally.

On a separate note, using absolute positioning for page elements also makes those of us with "adblock" see the page correctly too
