Alright, again... when it all comes down the problem is that the code is not formatted properly. You have so many improperly nested elements....

However, if you wanna give mboyden's fix a shot it would be like so.

<!-- Start center-center blocks loop -->
<{foreach item=block from=$xoops_ccblocks}>
<table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" bgcolor="#EE9E5B" width="100%" height="150">
    <tr>
        <td bgcolor="#FFFF94" valign="top">

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" width="100%" height="150" bgcolor="#202020">
    <tr>
        <td valign="top" bgcolor="#333333">        

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" width="100%" height="20" bgcolor="#202020">
    <tr>
        <td background="<{$xoops_imageurl}>bg-tab-menu.gif" class="blockTitle">&nbsp;<{$block.title}></td>
    </tr>
</table>        

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" height="2" bgcolor="#202020">
    <tr>
        <td background="<{$xoops_imageurl}>hr.gif"></td>
    </tr>
</table>

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" height="100%">
    <tr>
        <td valign="top" class="blockContent"><{$block.content}></td>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
    </tr>
</table>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>
<br>
<{/foreach}>
<-- End Center Blocks -->


I spaced the code out so that you can really see how fubar it is.

Yeah, I'm not sure this DIV CLEAR BOTH solution will work in tables, but I also don't see why not. Also, I'd suggest that you get rid of all those nested tables and move to DIV tags as much as possible. Try to avoid using tables as your layout methodology -- that's what DIV tags are for.

The solution I provided came from the web. The empty DIV container should be placed just before you close the outer most container containing the content you want enclosed. So, in your case, place it just before you close the TD of the main table that encloses the other content.

In general, the table container should close it, but if you start floating things around inside it, then it "detaches" it from that height aspect for some reason. Not sure that is to the standard since everyone seems to expect it to expand vertically, but it's the behavior I've seen.

Clear as mud?

Hi!

Thanks to everyone. I have placed the mentioned tag, but DIDN'T succeed anyway. Lacking theme coding's skills make me worst on editing the file. :)

I'll study about them later (surely by searching the Internet and guided by someone). I wondered why IE rendered the page well? I think IE had ignored the problems there and tried to render them well. In this situation, IE take the point.

But I'm surely could not understand the layout's methodology. I understand well HTML and CSS but know nothing on theme coding/methodology/layout. A bit disappointment for that. Huh.
