well first you need to strip the code a bit like this....

Code:




<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="160"> <tr> 


<td><img src="themes/DeepBlue/images/spacer.gif" width="12" height="1" border="0" alt=""></td> 


<td><img src="themes/DeepBlue/images/spacer.gif" width="12" height="1" border="0" alt=""></td> 


<td><img src="themes/DeepBlue/images/spacer.gif" width="13" height="1" border="0" alt=""></td> 


<td><img src="themes/DeepBlue/images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt=""></td> 


</tr> <tr> 


<td colspan="3" background="themes/DeepBlue/images/blocks_r1_c1.gif"><p align="center"><b>$title</b></p></td> 


<td><img src="themes/DeepBlue/images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="24" border="0" alt=""></td> 


</tr><tr><td background="themes/DeepBlue/images/blocks_r2_c1.gif">&nbsp;</td> 


<td valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><p>$content</p></td> 


<td background="themes/DeepBlue/images/blocks_r2_c3.gif">&nbsp;</td> 


<td><img src="themes/DeepBlue/images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="5" border="0" alt=""></td> 


</tr><tr><td colspan="3">


<img name="blocks_r3_c1" src="themes/DeepBlue/images/blocks_r3_c1.gif" width="160" height="24" border="0" alt=""></td> 


<td><img src="themes/DeepBlue/images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="5" border="0" alt=""></td></tr></table>

I think you have to edit it online,and prefered on a testsite.
Cause looking at your site that the rest is okay....as you said isnt realy true....
As far as you problem can be solved....i think the width isnt correct of the design itself.
I copied your index with the block part and it showed that the images used as background arent properly set...
But i recommend this stuff on a test site.....

hitwalker, thank you so much, I solved the problem.There left only one strange thing!The empty space in the underpart of my blocks.Under mozilla it don't shows these space, but in IE it's there...so it makes my site longer..blah!i cant understand it.

That would be the bug in IE that adds a space after the ending form tag.
Add this to the FORM line in your themes/ThemeName/style/style.css file:

Code:

display:inline

so that it looks something like:

Code:

FORM       {FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,Helvetica; FONT-SIZE: 11px; display: inline}

There are a few themes that will work with right blocks on but not many.

The header in DeepBlue doesn't resize either and that makes the issue more prominent scrollbars are bad enough.
