Hi Miguel, The errors appear to be the result of strings not terminating properly from the PHP output. Then partial HTML code is inserted in cells or at the top of the table.
I have stripped everything out and am now just creating a loop to build a table and still get the same errors. I have checked it with IE 5.5, IE 6, NS 4.78 and NS6.2.2 all with the same type of errors. Here is a link to the page that creates the table: http://www.coloradowinware.com/sample/error/sample.php Depending on your connection speed it may take a few seconds, it is generating 650 rows. You may need to refresh a couple of times to see the errors. Some times there is text printed above the table and sometimes there is partial html in table cells and other times there may be colored cells. Here is the source for the page: Thanks for your help. <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>PHP Test</TITLE> </HEAD> <body> <?php buildtable() ?> <?php function buildtable() { //print header row print "<table border='2' cellspacing='0' bordercolor='#C0C0C0' width='97%' id='AutoNumber2' style='border-collapse: collapse' bgcolor='#FFFFFF'>"; print "<tr>"; print "<td width='4%' align='center' bgcolor='#FFCC00'> </td>"; print "<td width='28%' align='center' bgcolor='#FFCC00'><b><font size='2' face='Verdana'>Name</font></b></td>"; print "<td width='13%' align='center' bgcolor='#FFCC00'><b><font size='2' face='Verdana'>Phone</font></b></td>"; print "<td width='29%' align='center' bgcolor='#FFCC00'><b><font size='2' face='Verdana'>E-Mail</font></b></td>"; print "<td width='22%' align='center' bgcolor='#FFCC00'><b><font size='2' face='Verdana'>Department</font></b></td>"; print "<td width='4%' bgcolor='#FFCC00'> </td>"; print "</tr>"; //end print header row $i=0; $number = 650; while ($i < $number) : $name = "Fred Flintstone"; $email = "My Mail"; $department = "Department"; print "<tr>"; print "<td width='4%' align='center' bgcolor='#FFFFFF'><p align='center' bgcolor='#FFFFFF'><font size='1' face='Verdana'>" . $i .
