I use NN 3.0  they are right.  things don't show up.  I tried running it
through
webtechs validation service.  It went over the 50 max for errors, beginning
with
your doc type declaration.  A quick glance at the source, it appears you
have
your tables nested incorrectly in a couple of places.
Overriding your doc type with 3.2 and 4.0 transitional shows a table error
at
line 69.

Not a problem with NN, but a problem with the code.  Backwards compatibility
is always an issue to be concerned with.  NN 3 is still being used by many,
even
those of us with systems capable of handling the newer versions fo browsers.
Personal preference, I prefer NN 3.  so do others.
