change your css to the following

body, td, th
{
font-size: 10px;
}

OR

.table
{
font-size: 10px;
}
 
.........
 
 
<table class="table" ....>

table based designs are a thing of the past css-positioned divs are the future

CSS has been made to replace tables for layouts. So if you are learning CSS, you can learn to make websites without the tables.

Tables are now mostly used to present data and not for layouts.

Lol I initially started with HTML based div's; moved on to CSS after that, but never liked it. Tables are easier, for me anyway, as opposed to CSS coded div's

what's your website. Can I try changing it to CSS for you and show you a sample?
Will just do one pageof course.

I originally designed the sites with tables, but recently, I have been messing about with Divs and CSS etc, and it seems to be going ok.

This is like a test layout that I have been messing around with, using CSS and DIVs, and I must admit, it is easy once you get to know it, except at the moment I am having just a few problems with this, Lol.

Your site looks ok on the IE6 browser. Except that the menu on the right side seems to be a little further away than it should be. Yesterday on the IE7 beta2 browser your lefthand menu was overlapping the main section.

Looking at your source shows you are in love with DIV's but it's overdone. Looks more like tables in DIV format.

You can put all the menu on the left into one div and then put nested div's just for each group of items. So you can move them as a whole group. Try visiting www.cssplay.co.uk for ideas, stu has lots of great CSS work arounds and very into CSS.

ok here's randomize's page with less DIV's (with compliments)
