Michael,

You have not removed all the layout grids used to construct that page. There are two remaining. If you want to get a better idea of what's going on, you will also need to remove those. You are also using layers in the page, which certainly do not possess any of the "elastic" qualities of HTML tables. I suspect the layers may be part of the problems you are encountering. They will operate entirely independent of the table, because they use CSS rather than HTML. There isn't much point going into technicalities if you are a beginner as you say, but the main point to remember is that the position and size of "layers" is going to be independent from and unrelated to the tables you think they are "in".

Remove the nested grids, and if you want to construct the page layout using tables:

1) Don't use layout grids.
2) Try to simplify the tables as much as possible. Try not to nest tables one inside another.
3) Do not mix tables and layers together. They aren't based on the same principles and don't play well together, even when you know very well how both work.

You might also want to start looking into using CSS rather than tables for laying out web pages. There are worse places to start than:
