CSS minimum column widths?

[englishpremier]

I'm not very good at webdesgin but am trying to learn. Anyway i have a site at http://www.eastcoastbaby.co.uk It seems to work fine in firefox, but on some IE machines the league tables move under the central column.

Am i right in thinking that setting minimum coloumn widths will fix this? If so what is the code for that?

Cheers.

Should that be http://www.eastcoastbaby.co.uk ?

They may move because of the positioning of the FireFox toolbars opposed to Internet Explorer's.

Couldn't you just fix the Table's into one position?

Make a back up 1st and stick this Code inside the Tables tag's...

align="centre"

Well I want the league tables aligned and fixed on the right hand side. There must be some fabulous web developer who knows how to fix this easiliy.

align="center" or right etc.. doesn't seem to do anything.

I've tried setting the righ hand coloumn to:

position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0;

and it just appears to be missing now.

Does someone know what exactly i should do to get the left column always on the left, centre always in the centre and right always on the right, no matter what resolution or browser size people use?

When using percentages, Ive found that sometimes a column will slip under if you make the total width add up to 100%.

for example:

leftcolumn 25% - right column 75%.

This sounds great, but Ive had a column slip under the other column.
So, instead I made the total add up to 99% or 98% so that there is a little "spare" like this:

leftcolumn 25% - right column 74%

Of course this can be done with multiple columns.
Or something similar. The result looks fine if you have a uniform background colour with no borders.
