Re: i.am/briangstp

Hello Brian--

I spent about 45 minutes going over your site. The answer to your 
problem turned out to be fairly straight forward, but I had to wade 
through all the great javascript to get to it. At least it's what I 
think is the problem. Frankly I don't know why your table works in IE 
5, but it is quite pretty :-) I believe in both cases your 
background, left and right, images did not load. In IE 5 it doesn't 
break, because the the cells fill in with white; not so in Netscape.

Try this:  Substitute
<TD WIDTH="10" BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" 
BACKGROUND="images/lefttablebackground.gif"></TD>

with
<TD WIDTH="10" BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"><IMG 
SRC="images/lefttablebackground.gif"></TD>

and substitute
<TD WIDTH="10" BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" 
BACKGROUND="images/righttablebackground.gif"></TD>

with
<TD WIDTH="10" BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"><IMG 
SRC="images/righttablebackground.gif"></TD>

I don't know the exact syntax or W3C rules for background images in 
cells, and it's too late to look it up right now. But the problem is 
in these lines. Why did you change the syntax for these cells, vs. 
the corner and top/bottom cells? Let me know if this works for you.

Best wishes,

Leslie
