ive got netscape preview release3 on this computer. and ive looked at a
large site that we're doign for a client and the table along the top is
screwed. its important because it contains the navigation. lukily, im
organised and everything is using ASPs version of Include. so i only
need to modify 1 file for the while site. but, i need to work out why
its messing things up.
im not using a transparant image to space things or anything. all
browser except for netscape6 seem to display it properly.
the internet is becommign a mess. i can cope with designing for 2 main
browsers that do things differently. but, netscape6 seems to be a
rewritten crap version of netscape4. it looks good, but that isnt a
substitute for the fact it doesnt work..... style over substance only
goes so far.

opera conforms to the w3c more tightly than IE and netscape4 and that
displays everything as i intended it to look. IE is the next closest and
netscape is the least accurate but its not messing anything up.

and as for their 'we'll reply in 24 hour' technicle support........ ive
been waiting for a week for an answer.

take care,
 Rob.
