Hello,

I have been trying to work through some Netscape bugs for a while and I just
can't seem to get around them.  I have a table that spans 98% the width of
the screen and I want the first <td> to be 138 pixels wide.  For some reason
Netscape ignores the width value. I also have another table below that one,
and the Netscape ignores that first <td> width (assigned at 148) as well.  

I have noticed that Netscape doesn't like it when you assign a table width
as a percentage and some of the td's as fixed widths.  For the very top
table (where it has the company logo) I had to tweek the td widths to get
the "Log-in" graphic on the right to be flush with the edge.  Still in
1024x780 and above there is a little gap between the edge of the graphic and
the black background (in Netscape).  I cannot get the "log-in" graphic to
align all the way to the right in both IE and Netscape (in multiple
resolutions), and I have putting the align="right" in the td, span, div,
etc.  Any combination of those doesn't work in both IE and NN.

I have tried so many different tweeks to get around these alignment problems
in Netscape, and they haven't worked. 

Does anyone know any tips that may be of help?

Here is a sample of the problem in:
