Sliced Image Doesn't Work In IE

[Guest]

The place where I have my web site, EcomPlanet, only allows a
maximum of 100 kb images on their free web pages. I didn't like
the way my image looked when I compressed it that small, so I
decided to try and slice the image.

I got it sliced up OK, but have had horrible problems trying to get

it to display correctly.

The current configuration is the only thing I have come up with
that works at all. Any kind of table configuration I have tried
leaves white space between the images. Part of the problem may be
that EcomPlanet re-writes my html when I do a Save, so I can't have

<tr> and <td><IMG...></td> on the same line of source html.

The way I have it now, the image displays fine in Mozilla Firefox
0.9, and Netscape 4.76. In Internet Explorer 5.5, it places the
slices next to each other horizontally, instead of stacking them
vertically. I upgraded IE to 6.1 (or 6.0 SP1, something like
that), which I've been meaning to do anyway, and it didn't make any

difference.

Any suggestions? I hate to think that after all the work of
cutting up the image and figuring out how to make it display
without spaces between the slices, that I'm going to have to back
to the fuzzy, grainy, overcompressed single image. But having a
web page that doesn't look right in IE seems kind of
counterproductive.

The page is at:

I posted this last week, but it didn't get through. I'm trying
again without the html source. Maybe it was trying to fetch the
images to Usenet or something. I was trying to save people time by
including the "offending" html, but now I have stripped that part
out. Sorry.

Thanks a lot for any help,

Well, I wouldn't use EcomPlanet then! If you aren't able to specify your
HTML as you like, then it's not worth using as a host.

Also, the HTML for this page is hideous (no offence intended), it's
almost impossible to tell what's going on! There's nested tables,
redundant empty tables with no content, hundreds and hundreds of
attributes everywhere. Why so many (11) tables?

The way I have it now, the image displays fine in Mozilla Firefox

Any suggestions?

You could try putting a <BR> after each image.

But I recommend starting by re-writing the whole page. Honestly. Try
running it through the HTML validator (http://validator.w3.org) you'll
see there's 285 errors. If you can eliminate the problems with these
errors, you'll be in a much better position to work out the visual
problems with your page, and your HTML should be one hell of a lot
simpler by that point too.
