"Oh it's out of alignment again? Just add a few more spacer.gifs in that table cell. This design was so great until we let people edit the content."

You didn't get the memo? We moved the style attribute inside the class attribute now

That's so sarcastic, when you use proper <table>,<tr>,<td> in your html, you don't need <br> ⸮
