Sorry, but the URL should have been:

Here is the rest of the message (my apologies to those on digest mode):
I recently wrote to the basics list to ask for help with an XHTML site,
> which I eventually had to downgrade to HTML because the client uses
Netscape
> 4.7. This incident has put some serious doubts in my mind about a couple
of
> sites I am working on right now.

> This particular one,

> not only looks horrible in Netscape 4.x, but causes an error to close down
> the browser. I am almost sure it has to do with my use of style sheets,
but

> So I ask you this: Please look at the site and tell me if you think I
should

of

>
> At this point, all of the pages almost validate - that is, except for the
> topmargin, leftmargin, marginheight and marginwidth tags (which I added
for

soon

> possible.
