On my freeway view I have text in a table with an additional table below it which contains images with links. This all appears ok in freeway however when I view it in firefox teh text from one table overlaps the table below. on the following page http://www.1ad.org.uk/aboutus.html you will see that the text overlaps the ‘performance box’ why is this ??

Qite simply this is caused by different browsers rendering text at different sizes and because your tables are Layered items then they can overlap.
If you want to avoid this then consider joining the 2 tables together - or remake them as one.
Alternatively uncheck the Layer checkboxes for those 2 items.
A third method (of the many) is to use the RPL action.

thank you, the Layer checkboxes are unchecked already, I can not remake the table as one because i would need one row to have more columns than other rows, i dont think this is possible ??
how do you join tables together, ?
thank you in advance

The simplest thing that could possibly work here is to draw a single HTML box just larger than the two tables directly over the top of the two tables. Then send that to back. As long as it is not a layer (and indeed, you will not be able to use Send to Back to send a layer behind a non-layered item), you will have created a nested table, which will flex along with the rest of the page. Fine-tune this by zooming in, dragging the top-left corner to be exactly the same X/Y coordinate as the top table, and drag the bottom-right corner to be exactly 2px wider and taller than the two stacked tables.
You can also cut both of the tables off of the page, draw an HTML box in their place, double-click inside that box for a text cursor, and paste the two tables as inline objects. This will have some WYSIWYG down-sides – it’s a bit fussier to adjust a table when it is an inline object than when it is drawn on the page.

You certainly can.
For a more complicated layout I would start with a table with (for example) 12 columns.
Each row can then have cells/columns joined together to create wider cells/columns.
So Row 1 could have 12 cols
Row 2 - 6
Row 3 - 4
etc.
But start with Walters solution first of all as if you want a table structure like this it does need some planning.
