Table contents getting cut off
-
I having a problem with 2 column table – MistyLook theme – one column is a picture and the other text. The text part is getting cut off. How can I resolve this?

Your post shows up fine in Firefox and Safari, but not in Explorer (no surprise here…).
And the table code is ok. Maybe you’ve got another bad tag somewhere in the text. Try this: Go to Settings>Writing, tick the option “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically”, click Save Changes; then edit the post (make any insignificant change, e.g. add then remove a space) and click Update Post.

I tried the above recommendation and some reason it did not work. i even changed the width to 10 in html and and when I see it “visual” mode, the table appears small. But after that when I update page and view page, it still has a problem (i guess in explorer).

Table width would only be the cause if you set a fixed width exceeding the width of the theme’s main column (500px); your original html had no command for width at all, if I remember well.
Another possibility: the content of your first td isn’t ok; it includes the normal code for a linking image plus an empty link before it and an empty link after it. Try deleting those two – maybe they confuse Explorer.
-
By the way, since the inserted versions of the images are only slightly smaller than the uploaded originals, I wonder why you’ve made them clickable.
-
An another possibility: your overlong text links. Being URLs, they have no spaces for line breaks. Better write some appropriate words that link to those URLs instead of displaying the URLs themselves.

Thanks for your comments. After you said it was only a problem with IE, I just re-did html of the table and it worked fine. I didn’t even have to change anything. But I do appreciate your comments (size of images, text for links, etc.) I will incorporate them.

You’re welcome. Sorry I couldn’t pin it down: I couldn’t reproduce the problem in my test blog, so I was shooting in the dark…
