99% of time the URL helps! I also think that this should go to hwg-basics or
hwg-techniques.

Netscape *IS* picky but it can usually survive height/width problems. When
Netscape does get really picky is when closing tags for tables enter the game.
In a recent project I recently coded, the page www.sakusuurhall.ee/ehitus was
totally blank in Netscape. The reason? I didn't close the table with </table>.

Check your source code!

Also, run your site through http://validator.w3.org. You'll be suprised how many
errors you usually find.

*** Always validate your code ***

Hope everything works out, good luck!

Yours,
