Table moved down page depending on number of rows

I have a right hand side float element that contains a table of results generated from a script.

The more results that the table contains the further down the page it appears and I can't for the life of me figure out why. I've used effectively the same code on the main table generated by the script and this problem does not occur.

A screen shot with not many results: Image

A screenshot with more results:

A sample output page is here:

Any suggestions?

It looks like an IE only bug (it looks fine in Firefox).

I can't guarantee this will work but (off the top of my head) try putting height: 100%; on the right float.[/b]

Thanks, but it didn't make any difference :(

So the margin above the table in the right hand float from the link above looks the same as this one http://www.clear-edge.net/test/syslog2.htm ??

This problem didn't occur until I added some hidden form fields to the right hand float results, but I don't understand why that would make any difference....

Yep, both look identical and OK in Firefox. Try setting the vertical alignment of the right cell to "top". Turning on table borders usually helps me visualize a table better.

Are you using CSS for the output tables?

and if so, can you provide the CSS for the affected tabel. I think I know what is happening here.
