Table cell sizes (in or out of the WebOPAC) are determined by the browser 
based on the amount of content they need to hold.  If you want 
consistently-sized table cells in the WebOPAC it's a good idea to use your 
style sheet to set a width for cells you don't want resized.  We use 
width:5% for td.browseHeaderNum, td.browseHeaderMark, and td.browseHeaderYear.

There's a known issue with the display of call number searches and 
briefcit.html (search for "briefcit" on CSDirect's Known Issues 
page).  Don't know for sure if this is the same display issue as yours, but 
it seems likely.  (In effect, briefcit.html is being ignored for one or 
more records.)
