Re: Questionnaire page needs Netscape fix!

Your table is beautiful!

I gave a lecture last night on writing clean html, and I wish I had 
your source code to show as an example!
I had no problems in IE or NN regarding the layout of the table. 
Everything lined up. If you'd like I can download the code and turn 
the table borders on to see if anything is amiss.

Now the table colors are another issue. In IE the nested body is 
white within the blue main body. In NN, you see the blue body, and 
the white image/column labels. But the nested body stays blue.

I see you use class, ".body" associated with "div" to set the nested 
body to white. I'm not an expert on the div tag, and in general NN 
4.x is notoriously bad in supporting many CSS1 standards. However you 
might try to set the table, and td tags directly, without resorting 
to using a class.


table    { background: #ffffff; color: #333366; font-family: arial, 
helvetica, sans-serif; }

and/or


td    { background: #ffffff; color: #333366; font-family: arial, 
helvetica, sans-serif; }

Hope this is helpful,
Leslie
