This is a known Netscape bug with CSS. It violates the spec in this area.
(Pain in the ass, too, since there's no really good way to design around
it.)

In general you will find that browser support of CSS is...uneven, shall we
say. Netscape 4.x is a nightmare, MSIE 3.0 is a sub-nightmare, and MSIE 4.x
is a partial nightmare. ;-). MSIE 5.x and now Mozilla are much better.  I
don't use Opera, but my impression is that its support is somewhere in the
middle.

The charts at <http://webreview.com/pub/guides/style/style.html> are an
indispendable resource for coping with browser-incompatibility nightmares.
