Page layout variations in Netscape and IE...

OK, so I've may have seen seen this topic on this list before (can't 
find it though!), so can we please go through it one more time (and 
speak sloowwlly so that I can get my head around it...)

I prefer Netscape Communicator (Mac) to view this page. As it 
happens,  my client prefers Netscape too (for Windows). As I can't 
point to an actual URL at this stage, here is the code that I'm using:

____________________________________________________________

<table border=0 cellpadding=3 cellspacing=0>

<tr>
	<td><font face=times new roman, times, serif>
	<h4 align=left>topic one</h4>
waxing lyrical about whatever it is that the page is supposed to be 
about ad nauseum blah blah blah and so on and so forth...
	</font></td>
	<td width="105"><img src="image.JPG" alt="image" width="98" 
height="102" border="0">
	</td>
</tr>

<tr>
	<td><font face=times new roman, times, serif>
	<h4 align=left>topic one</h4>
waxing lyrical about whatever it is that the page is supposed to be 
about ad nauseum blah blah blah and so on and so forth...
	</font></td>
	<td width="105"><img src="image.JPG" alt="image" width="98" 
height="102" border="0">
	</td>
</tr>

<tr>
	<td><font face=times new roman, times, serif>
	<h4 align=left>topic one</h4>
waxing lyrical about whatever it is that the page is supposed to be 
about ad nauseum blah blah blah and so on and so forth...
	</font></td>
	<td width="105"><img src="image.JPG" alt="image" width="98" 
height="102" border="0">
	</td>
</tr>

</table>
____________________________________________________________

Fine and dandy I thought... And it works just fine in IE. The type 
spans the whole table apart from the last 105 pixels. The last cell 
(105 pixels wide) contains my image, aligned to the right edge of the 
page.

But in Netscape, the table is split 60% / 40% with the image floating 
in the right 40% of the page width while the  type is crammed up on 
the left 60%!  I've tried all the work-arounds that I can think of, 
to no avail...

Should I concede defeat (bearing in mind that the majority of users 
will see my page as intended) or am I missing something fairly 
elementary in my syntax that Netscape NEEDS to display the page 
correctly, while IE is just going with the general intent of what I 
am trying to do?

T.I.A.
