An HTML question, size of tables
 

I have a dumb question that I can't figure out.
When one of the tables on my site is loading it is stretched about twice of it's original width, when all pictures in it are done loading it's back to its given width.
I seemed to define all <td> with tags. Don't know where else to look.

Any ideas

HTML tables load in the order they are coded. So the large table loads first, before the right hand column and the closing tags. Some browsers assume the cell is full width until it encounters the next cell or closing tags. Since that cell probably has to wait until all the images are in until it loads the next cell, you get that delay. If you are using fancy categories, you will also get a delay as that thing is a huge piece of code.

so the only way is to make table content smaller?

interesting that the table loads up in correct size when in firefox.
the problem is only in IE

Like I said, some browsers do, some don't. I wouldn't worry about it.
