The sad fact is that these two browsers never have and probably never will
display the pages exactly the same.  They use different rendering engines.
If you want to see some bad stuff, build some FORMs and you will see a big
difference in text rendering.

I have learned to include point size specifications in every .CSS file for
every tag I plan to use.  But even then they are never _exactly_ rendered
identically.

In Netscape, your two top tables are also not going all the way across to
the right in the 1024 X 768 mode.  Sometimes I cheat and use table widths of
105% so that it goes all the way across in Netscape.
