Thanks to everyone's help, I have figured out what the problem was.

Apparently, Netscape's <.table> element inherits the background =
attribute from a surrounding <.td> element.  Consequently, the =
background which was appropriately connected to the cell, was =
inappropriately used in the contained table.  The solution was to add a =
background=3D"" attribute to the <.table> tag.  This doesn't change how =
IE renders the page, but it does solve the problem in Netscape.

By the way, the mouseovers and links don't work in NN because the events =
are being executed via <.div> elements, and  NN doesn't have events for =
<.div> elements, so there is nothing for me to hook into.  Perhaps in =
the future I will have the time to make a separate solution for NN.

Brian, I think this may be the culprit (I'm viewing with NN 4.5):

  <.TD height=3D"100" background=3D"rightcol.gif" valign=3D"top"> which =
is=20
located in the same table cell as the "Around the Corner" table. This =
line=20
is cutting right through that nested table. Perhaps it would work better =
if=20
you put the gif in it's own cell and then spanned it to fit the table??

Also, your main body text is sort of bleeding into the dark blue on the =
left.

And, on a 15-inch monitor, 800x600 resolution, there is some right hand=20
scrolling just to even see the long, thin line on the right.

HTH,
Tamara
