Q: I wonder if this is maybe my Dreamweaver or Windows to install pooched.
Whenever I have more than two nested tables, Dreamweaver freak.
First, I get ghost images in table cells on the bottom of my Design View panel. The only way I know where I was really looking at the code view. And then, when I cut or copy and paste things from one cell to another and then I get an exception error and Dreamweaver MX 2004 and have tried closes.
I. I have removed and reinstalled and it is still a problem. Dreamweaver is just not as nested tables or is my Windows installation somehow pooching things? IMHO, the errors are pretty consistent for me is thinking that Windows, though. I can reproduce this issue without fail by simply copying something like a textarea of a table cell to see this before another.
Anyone?
Re:Nope. The code is good. All tags terminate correctly, etc.
It's done now, so I'm not going to worry about it. I wouldn't normally nest three or more tables together, but this project pretty much required it (huge form.)
It's behind me now. The form works. I will move on and pretend that it never happened. 
Re:just a random shot here …
is it possible that you have made manual change to the table using code-view, and you ended up making the tables overlap with each other?
try a new experiment:
start with a new file, create a table inside table (in design view)
save and check out if it works.
next, create another table inside it, and see if it crashes again…
guy: if you think 4 levels of nested table is disgusting, try 6 to 8 nested table that our "web designer" did *across the whole company's website* in my previous workplace.. the horrible part is that a few of those nested tables are empty table with a background color that is used only to make the border color of the next table inside…. yuck…
apparently, the web designer never heard of style="border: 1px solid #0000ff;" ….

Re:I think it's just your windows install. I've never had that problem before. But I am running DWMX2k4 on a mac (I do know someone using it on Windows, working on the same site as me, but doesn't have a problem). BTW, we have 4 levels of nesting at one spot on the page (disgusting if you ask me, but I didn't design the template – I'd rather use CSS).
Re:The pages display fine. I can edit them all day long in a text editor. It's easier to manipulate in Dreamweaver…. if it doesn't crash!
Frames nested twice isn't a problem. Just when I nest three or more does it crash. 
Re:I'm not sure what might be wrong with your setup though other than maybe windows.
Have you tried to edit/view the pages outside of dreamweaver? Try using notepad for a quick copy paste test and check to see if the page displays properly. Next, try opening the file using dreamweaver and see if it still freaks out.
