Wordpress Google Chrome Compatibility Issue - HELP Please!

I'm working on a wordpress site and having difficulty with the site in Google Chrome. For some reason, the posts on the homepage go all the way to the right. We created a nested table in order to separate the posts and I think that may be what is causing the problem.

Take a look at the site here:http://bit.ly/8WvXrp


Here's the code that I think might be causing the problem:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="content">

<div id="homepage">

<div id="homepageleft">

<div class="featured">
<?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=&showposts=6"); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>
<table style="position: relative;" cellpadding="15px" width="660px" height="auto"><tr><td><div class="customdate"><span><?php the_time('M') ?></span> <?php the_time('d') ?></div>
<div class="dateblock"><h1><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1></div>

<?php the_content_limit(500, "Read More"); ?><div style="clear:both;"></div></td></tr></table><div class="split">
</div>

<?php endwhile; ?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/sidebar.php");?>

</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Please help!
Thanks.

Get rid of the table. Separate the posts using css. Wrap a div around the content where you added the table and then separate the content however you liked by applying css to that new div.

If you can post a link to the site here I'm sure someone can help for free. I don't think this will be a lot of work. It's just that we'll need to see the actual page and the rest of the code.

Brooke it looks like you've mixed a bit of positioning and floating and are using tables and divs. What I mean is the code is likely much more complicated than it needs to be. The ideal solution is probably to redevelop things, but I'm guessing you'd prefer a quicker fix.

On the tables I see you've added the inline style="position: relative". When I added clear: both to that the second post moved back where you want it. So:

HTML Code:
<table style="position: relative; clear: both" cellpadding="15px" width="660px" height="auto">
seems to work. Give that a try and see if it fixes things. Ideally though the entire page would be cleaned up and recoded.
