I don't have NN6.1. I do have NN6.0, so I looked at your page in that and in
IE5.5. It might be useful for you to know that NN6.0 puts in all of your
page elements but also inserts a good deal of extra vertical space.

About the real problem, though. NN6.1 is touted as even more of a *standards
cop* than 6.0. So, this question: are the elements it's leaving out the same
as the ones you have between the <center></center> tags? The reason I'm
asking is that these tags are deprecated, so it's possible NN6.1 is ignoring
them. You could try replacing them with the align attribute inside the
<table> tag or with some CSS and see what happens. If the elements pop back
in, the problem was likely the <center></center>.

HTH.
