For some reason my page looks fine in IE but not in Netscape. It's a simple page but I cant figure out what might be wrong.

The url is www.crocodilerock.org/crocrocnew/index.htm

Thank you.

What's wrong with it? I see nothing looking wrong in Mozilla 1.0

In NN4.8 the blue column at the right is about 200px too wide. So it looks like there's some sort of mistake in your table code. Now, you can call it a simple page but finding the bug here may take some time...
Also, as a rule for NN4, never leave cells empty.

Zoobie has a legitimate reason for asking that. Netscape 4.x is considered deprecated, legacy code.

Unfortunately, we web designers have a choice: support Netscape 4.x, or recommend they upgrade their browser. To me, neither option is very palatable.

I usually do not test for Netscape 6 or 7. Things seem to look fine in those browsers and many people that I know who use Netscape do not like the updated versions and they are sticking to the older versions of the browser. So, I would like to have it look right in the older version of Netscape. I dont see why it shouldn't but oh well. Hopefully I (we) can figure it out.

Thanks.

Looks good in IE 5.5 and NS 7

Things that were different included:
- blinking Slide Show doesn't blink in IE, does in NS
- the black borders around the Weather Links don't show up in NS, do in IE

Nothin else to note.
