problem with tables

I had a designer make my site and theres a huge thing he messed up.

When you go here, the item posted lists this table:

http://www.cecvp.com/index.php?/p...ories/cable_assemblies/169500_series

The problem is, however, that when he fixed that last table, then all the other tables changed to be the same, like this:

http://www.cecvp.com/index.php?/p...ity/4_102_4_103_vibration_transducer

My question is, how do I adjust the heading so that it corresponds to the table without changing EVERY table? It seems to me the class of the header should correspond to the fields of the different tables!! How hard is that?

Thank you for any help.

Hi Kevin... those links you sent are coming up as kernel error so can't see the problem :(

It's not easy being easy.

Hi Kevin

The page is working fine in FF 1.5. I am not sure what problem you have with the tables. The tables itself look fine to me, on the second page the table is just to big for the surrounding design. But to fix this you would need a new header which is suitable for a webpage with more width, so this is definitely a matter for your designer/webdeveloper.

It is near impossible for someone without access to your site and without you having debug or similar turned on so we know which template is being used to display the table.

Basically what is going on is that the template being used to display that table is not limited to the correct number of columns (or not limiting the number of columns at all).

You need to find the override template that is being used to display the table (it should be under design/override) and edit that template to limit the number of columns to 6. Alternatively, so it won't affect other tables, create a new override for that node with 6 columns.
