According to statistics, this is not your first post here. But anyway, welcome.

At the bottom I noticed you have a row with very large "colspan" - 29 in total but I fail to count that many at other rows. Are you sure that is correctly computed? If columns are not counted accurately your table-based layout may mess-up, and that is sort of expected

Oh by the way, you should specify 'px' explicitly in CSS style properties. Otherwise that is incorrect by standard and may be rejected by some browsers as invalid (that may cause the entire style declaration to be skipped if done the strict way).

I recommend you also enclose the attribute values in quotes in HTML. While for plain HTML it is not necessary, you should try to do this to move closer to XHTML, that by XML specification requires all attribute values enclosed.

I'm not on a Windows computer so I cannot confirm what your page looks like on IE. My recommendation is, first fix your HTML and CSS so that they are all valid first, then cater for cross-browser rendering issues. That way it would be easier to fix specific issues. IE in particular does not have great debugging support builtin, so it is particularly difficult to spot coding issues.

text::worddiff::html

Text::WordDiff::HTML(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				 Text::WordDiff::HTML(3pm)

Name
       Text::WordDiff::HTML - XHTML formatting for Text::WordDiff

Synopsis
	   use Text::WordDiff;

	   my $diff = word_diff 'file1.txt', 'file2.txt'; { STYLE => 'HTML' };
	   my $diff = word_diff $string1,   $string2,    { STYLE => 'HTML' };
	   my $diff = word_diff *FH1,	     *FH2,	   { STYLE => 'HTML' };
	   my $diff = word_diff &reader1,   &reader2,    { STYLE => 'HTML' };
	   my $diff = word_diff @records1,  @records2,   { STYLE => 'HTML' };

	   # May also mix input types:
	   my $diff = word_diff @records1,  'file_B.txt', { STYLE => 'HTML' };

Description
       This class subclasses Text::WordDiff::Base to provide a XHTML formatting for Text::WordDiff. See Term::WordDiff for usage details. This
       class should never be used directly.

       Text::WordDiff::HTML formats word diffs for viewing in a Web browser. The diff content is highlighted as follows:

       o   "<div class="file">"

	   This element contains the entire contents of the diff "file" returned by "word_diff()". All of the following elements are subsumed by
	   this one.

	   o   "<span class="fileheader">"

	       The header section for the files being "diff"ed, usually something like:

		 --- in.txt    Thu Sep	1 12:51:03 2005
		 +++ out.txt   Thu Sep	1 12:52:12 2005

	       This element immediately follows the opening "file" "<div>" element, but will not be present if Text::WordDif cannot deterimine the
	       file names for both files being compared.

	   o   "<span class="hunk">"

	       This element contains a single diff "hunk". Each hunk may contain the following elements:

	       o   "<ins>"

		   Inserted content.

	       o   "<del>"

		   Deleted content.

       You may do whatever you like with these elements and classes; I highly recommend that you style them using CSS. You'll find an example CSS
       file in the eg directory in the Text-WordDiff distribution.
