Thanks to everyone who responded about my disappearing images problem!  All 
of you said that you could see everything without a problem.  That is a 
huge help.

Nevertheless, the problem is still there (as far as the client is 
concerned).  It is only occurring on one machine and only with 
Netscape.  it works fine with IE on the same machine.

Since no one even saw the problem, let me describe it.  When the page loads 
the first time, all of the navigation images are there.  If you hit reload, 
all of the images disappear (except for "joint ownership") or all of the 
images turn black (except for "joint ownership" again.)  If you minimize 
the browser and then maximize it again, it fixes itself so that all of the 
images appear again!

This behavior led me to believe the problem lies in either the way I saved 
the graphics (transparent, 128 color, adaptive .gif file) or some bug 
between Netscape and the clients video card.  No other site does this on 
his machine so I am betting against the second.  I can't recreate the 
problem on other machines using the same version of Netscape so that sort 
of eliminates the first.

Does anyone else have any theories they'd like to throw out here?  I'm 
willing to listen to any possible explanation  from the technical to the 
paranormal!

Thanks,

Danny
