RE: why oh why, does my netscape crash?

i think you misunderstood the purpose of my response. my question was, what 
do you mean by "comment out your DIV tags?". my point about hating a browser 
for being picky was not necessarily directed at you. i've come across 
numerous ppl who complain when NN throws an error while IE doesn't, and it's 
merely a case of IE letting ppl get away with sloppy code. this may not be 
such a case, i totally agree with you that Netscape did an incredibly poor 
job with its internal error catching, but you need not use profanity and 
attempt to belittle me on a semi-public forum.

as for the problem:

in the aboutbox style definitions, if you omit the width attribute, it 
doesn't crash. dunno why, but that width definition combined with the TD 
width seems to conflict. as for lining up the background images, i dunno. i 
tried a bunch of things, and resizing the foreground image in the top seems 
to help. - Cyanide_7
