ASP not visible in Netscape?!

Hi all,

Back here again with another newbie ASP query...

The page I have scripted for ASP opens fine in M$IE and is testing 
well in this browser. However it will not open in Netscape -- no way!

I would have thought that this was a scripting error on my part, but 
I have just encountered another ASP-driven site with the same 
problem. In fact this site carries a message to the effect that in 
order to access the features of this site, the user HAS to be using a 
version of IE later than version 4.0! (whatever happened to 'graceful 
degradation of pages?')

Obviously in my travels around the web in my Netscape 4.6 (Mac) 
browser, I have encountered many ASP-driven sites and this has never 
been an issue -- these sites have all the apparent 'functionality' 
that I need! Can anybody tell me, then, why some ASP-driven pages 
will not run on a Netscape browser at all, meaning that visitors MUST 
use IE?

T.I.A.

MIKE
