In HTML 4.01, the closing tags for td and tr are optional. If Netscape 4 
chokes on this, then Netscape 4 is at fault :)

ON a more practical note, missing </tr> and </td> tags are probably what is 
causing the problem. In addition, I would make sure that the page 
validates. Debugging problems with Netscape 4 is hard enough with valid 
code, let alone invalid. Remember that _everywhere_ an & appears, you must 
use &amp; instead, even if it is in an href attribute.
