The table widths for articles is different in Firefox and IE.

In Firefox, they display perfectly. In IE, the top articles display perfectly, the lower ones do not. (number of reads table cell is too wide)

Basically, there are two columns on the page, the number of reads column suddenly gets too wide half way down the page.

When I look at the source code, it all looks identical for correct and incorrect sections.

what could be causing this inconsistency in table cell widths?

Is it because I'm using UTF-8 multibyte encoding?

has anyone else had this problem?

Ah, I should have guessed.

I went in and checked the cell widths in the articles_index.html template file.

Some were specified, some were not. It may not have added up. Firefox dealt with it fine but IE freaked out over it sometimes.

In any case, I've solved a frustrating problem by specifying the cell widths at 100% for the top two rows and 5%, 85%, 10% for the three columns below in the template file's table.

If anyone else has this problem, editing the template and specifying the table cell widths solved it for me

great module! I love it!

Internet Explorer does seem to need some sort of width defined on all cells, otherwise the cell(s) without it will cause it to go all over the place, unless there is enough content in that cell to hold it "open".

Erm, if that makes sense...

I have tackled it now, and have changed over to CSS styles and juggled it around so all columns are now aligned, no matter what the content.
