Default Other problems noted...

Your site is obviously designed specifically for those with a screen resolution of 800x600. When viewed at 640x480 which could represent as much as 13% of your traffic, you have an obvious white space in between your text and right-hand border.

At higher resolutions, which may be up to 30% of your sites visitors, who could be using 1024x768 or 1280x1024, the written part of your page that, was meant to appear on the middle white part of your page, overlaps the right-hand border making it hard to read.

My suggestion would be to change your main table to have three cells in one row. Set the TABLE width to 100% and then set your width in pixels for the first two cells. By NOT defining a width for the third cell, you can allow it to expand or contract based on the users resolution.

You don't have any content for the first cell. Knowing that Netscape will collapse empty table cells I would design a gif image of one color, and make it transparent. I would make it one pixel high, and the width in pixels of your left-hand border which would be 117. Then I would lock the second cell width at 498, and possibly include a nestled table in this cell so I would be in a position to make better use of Table attributes like CELLPADDING and CELLSPACING, which would help define a little white space around the edges so it doesn't look like your text is too close to the sides/borders.
