Photoshop query...

Hi all...

Really shouldn't have to ask this, but once again, I'm stumped...

I'm preparing graphics for a site that I'm working on. Created the 
graphics in Photoshop 4 (yes, I know it's getting on a bit!) Used 
Lynda Weinmann's lookup table for web graphics to match web-safe 
colours and flipped over to 256 colours to see that there was no 
dithering -- cool!

The images look fine it Photoshop, but when I see them in my test 
browsers (Netscape 4.6 and I.E. 4.7 for Mac) they look like crap... 
big blotches of colour all over them.

As there are some blend-type things happening I am saving these for 
the web in JPG format -- medium (5) compression from Photoshop, with 
'baseline optimised' format -- which sounds more than generous to me 
in terms of avoiding image loss due to compression.

Are there any graphics whizzes out there that can give me a few pointers?

T.I.A....
