Hello all,

I have recently started converting my site to validate in xhtml
transitional.

I have gotten the front page to validate.

The problem is not the validation, but rather how netscape displays the
page.

the site is http://www.lessar.com

In MSIE 5 and 5.5 it displays the way I intend it to.

when viewed in Netscape 4.7, it is off center., however when viewed with
Netscape 6, it is where it is supposed to be.

I have validated the CSS which is shown below.
in the body I set the border to 0px.

I originally had it in the <body bgcolor="#ffffff" topmargin="0"
leftmargin="0">
but that doesn't validate to xhtml.

any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

thanks

Mike Lessar
