Each of your columns will be at least as wide as the longest single
non-breakable word. I'd say you have too many columns to fit within your
designated width.

I viewed with Firefox 1.5.0.8

Tip:  set the text to align to the top of each cell rather than the
center, for neater presentation.

You have strange formatting in the source.  Quote:

	<tr style="background-color:#ccff99; color:#000000;">
	<td> <a href="http://www.asiclabs.com
">Asic Labs
 </a></td><td> 60/220, Lisie Hospital Road

Kochi - 682 018

Kerala, INDIA
, Karnataka
</td><td> Cochin,
....

Try to clean up the HTML output to collapse all those extra lines and
indents, which may contribute in some small way to your problem.

Consider dropping the Description column (as some have quite lengthy
text) and make a link from somewhere (maybe a "D" after the Name) if a
text exists, and show it on a different page.

There is some kind of small, strange partial border at the top and
bottom of the right-half of the Description column. It might be my ugly
default purple background showing, as you haven't assigned any
background color to the body. Aha. After testing, yes it is. You need to
assign a background color.

Found this:
"EDAIndia reaches Thousands of IC design prefessionals around the world
every month. Are you reaching them?

"An error occurred..."
