I took a look at your first page and spotted the following:

<body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"
link="#0000FF" vlink="#562574" alink="#AC003A"><!--msnavigation--><table
border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
width="100%"><tr><td><!--mstheme--><font face="century gothic, arial,
helvetica">
<div align="left">

<!--mstheme--></font>


You have opened a <div> in the middle of an open font tag. Netscape browsers
are  *very* sensitive to nesting errors......

Try this instead

<body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"
link="#0000FF" vlink="#562574" alink="#AC003A"><!--msnavigation--><table
border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
width="100%"><tr><td><!--mstheme--><div align="left">
<font face="century gothic, arial, helvetica">

<!--mstheme--></font>

Also you are using an emdash (&#151;) not all browsers support this

Hope this helps
