AN, Is is the table alignment that you are referring to, or the bad header line for "Most Entries"?

You are missing a closing ">" on your first table tag.

If it is the alignment of the tables, you might want this in place of that first table/tr tag in that file.

<table width="100%" border="0" align="center">
<tr valign="top">

If it is the last table being squeezed, it is because you reference "$style[cellpadding]" in that last table rather than "$stylevar[cellpadding]".
