External HTML in NOF9

I have written a site in NOF9 using a template with the menu on the left
of the page.

Many of the pages have a link to external HTML, the HTML files being
prepared from a database. Each external HTML file is a series of pictures
and text contained in tables - an outer table with a border of 3 and
several inner tables with a border of 1, some being 1x1, some 1x2 and some
1x3.

I have run the HTML I am producing through HTML tidy and it seems happy
with it.

However, for each of the tables in my HTML the NOF menu moves down 1 line.
So if there are 4 tables in my HTML the menu moves down 4 lines. If there
are a hundred the menu moves 100 lines down the page.

I am running out of ideas here, I suspect I haven't closed off an element
of my own HTML files but I can't spot it.

Has anybody seen this behaviour before, if so can you give me any hints as
to where to look please?

In the meantime I am off to HTML tidy land again...

Not really, it's still undergoing private testing (it's a new venture).

However, it seems to have fixed itself. Having spent the last 24 hours
going over the HTML I produce with HTML tidy and the W3C validator I think
I have got as far as I can with that, but still had layout problems.

In desperation I moved the menu to the top of the screen, it looked awful
but the problem had gone. So I moved it back down and it is fine now. I
wonder if NOF got its internal knickers in a twist and moving the menu
straightened it out?

Tell me what you need, and I'll tell you how to get along without it.

Was it a flash menu Jeff?

Hi Ian.
No it was the standard vertical menu that NOF has in many of its
templates. I am trying to avoid using things that require Flash or Java,
although I doubt I will succeed 100%.

If it's not broken, mess around with it until it is

OK. I've seen this happen with vertical flash menus. 2 pages drops the menu
2 "lines" lower than it's placement in design view, 3 pages drops the menu 3
"lines" etc!

Your circumstances are curious. It would be good if you could do a temporary
upload so we can see the code.
