lol sure sorry im writing this now thinking of sleep lol erm!
well it shows up in both FF and IE with 3 bars where there should only be 1 and i am a bit confused why that would do this !
i just did what you said and now you can see that its almost working how it should but the right side image is not at the far right enough and some buttons are in the wrong place
new code (what do you think that is!)
Code:
<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" class="tborder">

<td align="center" valign="top">
