Peter, as it is your page does not work in NS 4.72.  Keep two things in=20

Dreamweaver is set up to handle NS 6 at the moment.  Remember that NS 6 is=

Dreamweaver Browser Profiles available for NS 6 and DW behaviors don't take=

sure you used only those that are good for IE4+ and NS4.  You may still=20

HTH!
