Hi James

Without a URL to look at or an example of the code you're using, I'll have
to guess, but one thing to watch for is the actual construction of your
code.  It *shouldn't* matter if you have line breaks and spaces in your
code, but in practice, and in particular with Netscape, it does.  So
instead of laying your code out nicely, like this:

<td>
<img src="abc.gif">
</td>

 - try running it all together like this:

<td><img src="abc.gif"></td>

The line breaks in the first example can lead to small spaces being
introduced by Netscape.

Hope that helps...

Regards,
Donna
