Follow-up: netscape bug?

I received a lot of response on this confirming it to be a Netscape bug.

The only work around is to specify a specific height rather than a percentage.

Apparently, the issue stems from Netscape not recognizing the height as a 
valid table attribute.  I have no idea why this would be the case, and 
think it should be a valid attribute, but we have to work with what we've got.

Hope that helps,
