hi guys,
i'm trying to build a login and main page on dreamweaver for a client and testing them in google chrome and internet explorer but i am running into a lot of unexpected difficulties. the main thing has to be the way the tables are being rendered on the different pages. it seems to appear well on google chrome but when i test the page under internet explorer there have been issues with the way the footer is being rendered. i've included several images showing the problem:
login page on IE8 http://i39.tinypic.com/iz9lw3.jpg
login page on google chrome http://i44.tinypic.com/1zn0qd2.jpg
main page on IE8 http://i41.tinypic.com/2d0gyhf.jpg
main page on google chrome http://i42.tinypic.com/2ry58aw.jpg
login fail on IE8 http://i40.tinypic.com/2jea9ac.jpg
login fail on google chrome http://i43.tinypic.com/sl35h2.jpg
please help! i have included the source code below. i spent an entire night trying to figure out what was wrong but to little success.
