Tables too high in safari 3 UPDATE -SOLVED

Question

after I made all the adjustments, everything seems to be
working OK in both IE and Safari 3. Except the tables. They are
always too high.. What can I do, please?

Update:
I got a message that it also was too high in Mozilla. I
experimented and came up with such a simple solution, that I am
absolutely astonished that neither of your guys, even the 'experts'
and 'seniors'. who were so fast off the mark to voice their
critique and telll how crappy it all was..
The SIMPLE solution:
the original line I had, for example:
<td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><p class="normal_text">Any
text</p></td>
SHOULD BE:
<td bgcolor="#FFFFFF" class="normal_text">Any
text</td>
simple, but NONE of your quys, even those who had a look,
could see such a simple error or mine..:-))
Moral of the story: Look and think before your bark...
because you will sure look a proper idiot...
:-) end of problem... rip...

Hey I was following - hope you don't mind a suggestion.
How about a CC such as.....
<!--[if lte IE 6]><style>#main_content{width:
720px; overflow:
auto;}</style><![endif]-->
I know it gives a hor scrollbar but I think it looks better
that way or
at least visually it is more like the rest of the browsers on
XPPro at
least!
Just another opinion :-)
