A few posts ago, two or three people mentioned POD table problems of one sort or another. I found a possible solution inadvertantly whlie t-shooting a link color problem in Netscape.

Symptom - Netscape browser would not except body tag link color commands.

Problem - POD was generating the following table tag BEFORE the 'html' start tag in the header.

center> table border=0 width="95%"> tr> td bgcolor="#FFFFFF" valign=top> center>

( beginning " < " removed to show tags )

Solution - Found the tag within the 'podvars.pm' following:

sub pod_page_header{
my $pod_ph_text; my $pod_header;
$pod_ph_text="

Under 'Header Configuration'

Simply blanked out tag but left the above command line alone.

ALSO - podvars.pm generates a td, tr, table, body, and html CLOSE tag at the END of the footer ( found just before 'End of configuration' ) which can also misconfigure your tables. Although I resolved and tested the initial link color problem, I have not tested to see if this also resolves your table 'blow out' problem. Please let me know if it does.

Bye all...

PS Please let me know if the line I removed (above) will adversely affect something else. Thanks.

PPS This problem may have been inadvertantly caused when I injected the 'Multiple Headers' script into the pod.cgi script as I injected the add-on code within the problem area. I still love the multiple headers. Banner click through ratio sky-rocketed.
