Hi,

I am a complete noob on Drupal (5.6) trying to create a site (on a local computer at the moment) and last week came across the filter.module problem re adding new tags into the input formats. I have managed to get around that now with help from:

http://drupal.org/node/212338

However, i am now completely stuck having added the table tag. In a nutshell, everytime i input a basic table into any content it shifts the right blocks down underneath the footer and then my table begins below that. I have tried adjusting table width myself but that doesn't affect the problem. I also added a line border around the table to see if it was overlapping and it doesn't appear to. It doesnt affect the left blocks or anything else, just the right ones. I am currently using just a basic theme so i dont think it can be a theme related error. Adding any normal text into content pages doesn't cause a problem, just tables.

I'm sure i'm being completely useless but i just can't find a way around it, and having a look through the forums it doesn't seem like anyone else is having even close to the same problem :(

any help or pointers would be greatfully received.

ps if you mention something about css, it has already gone way over my head

Start with the Troubleshooting FAQ
There's a page there specially for you. (hint - FFS Validate your page)
If you've identified the problem to be truly filter-related, compare a view-source with what you thought you entered to see if there's a difference.

I know this is weeks late - but I have had the same problem.

I had a table with text in one cell and a picture in the adjacent cell.

I found that removing the html paragraph tags from the text that was inside the table cell fixed the formatting problem!
