Topic: HTML table problem (not PunBB related)

I have encountered a strange problem on a site I maintain, on this page:
http://helsingborgsspexet.se/gallery.aspx?pictureID=853
For some reason the table cell containing the picture becomes a lot wider than it needs to be to fit the picture

I really need some advice here as I'm all out of ideas...

And please don't comment on the terrible non-conformant HTML or excessive overuse of nested tables :-)

hmm... probably an IE bug then - just what I needed.
But thanks for looking at it.

I think there's something wrong with one or a couple of colspans.

Edit: Found it.

1. Increase the colspan to 3 for the "Fotograf:" cell.
2. Removed the empty table cell after it.
