Hi there, experts and lurkers

Please excuse the repeat sending of this message.  My Outlook became corrupt
when I loaded Communicator and won't send text-based e-mails.  I somehow
copied only part of the message last time.  Sorry about that :> !



For the last two years, I have been kidding myself that our business web
site was something to write home about.  As long as its viewed in IE, it
isn't too bad.  I just found out what the site looked like in Netscape ...
Anyone feeling masochistic can wander over to http://www.seaeagle.aunz.com,
particularly if they have Netscape.

Some of the feedback I've already received turned out to be far too polite
:-/ !

My problem is that I use CSS extensively and my external links don't seem to
be working.  That's contributing to the "dog's breakfast" that this site has
become.  Can anyone suggest the best way to deal with this?

The other problem is that I now need a sniffer program to point surfers to
the right version (once I finish modifying our site for Netscapists).  The
only version I had resided on a floppy diskette, long since zip archived and
now irrecoverably damaged.  I know nothing about Java - except that there
are allegedly a lot of people who surf without out it.  There are
alternative ways of getting Netscape users to their version of the site -
the most basic being a plain hyperlink.

Is there a site where I can get some info on cross-browser issues and
designing for Netscape in particular?  I've neglected this for so long in my
myopic site work that I have fallen way behind!

Any suggestions, on or off list, are greatly appreciated!
