I was having the exact same problems but with pages that validate to
4.01 transitional. I had been using the following statement:

        <.!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
Transitional//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/html40/loose.dtd">

Then I deleted that statement and rewrote it using the doctype menu in
BBedit 6.0.1 which re-stated it as:

<.!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd">
        
That cleaned up the mess and now my pages display just fine in NN6. Is
the latter a more recent statement of 4.01? Or an older version?

Thanks,
Ken
