Instead of changing browsers, find the problem in the HTML and pass it
on to
Laserlight so he can fix it! (I have done that below)
To fix the page, laserlight needs to close the table. Add a </table>
tag at the
end of the HTML, before the </body> tag, and that should take care of
it.
Netscape follows the standard that says that tables need a closing tag,
while
Internet Explorer does not. This may make internet explorer seem more
robust,
but what it actually does is contributes to the proliferation of poor
html,
because so many people don't ever know it is wrong.
I wonder if microsoft authoring tools leave out table closing tags on
purpose,
to make it seem Netscape is broken...It really wouldn't surprise
me...Anyway,
enough of that...
Hope this helps!

Try using Internet Explorer instead of Netscape.
For some reason (which I'm sure the
html literate out there can explain) Netscape
has trouble opening/displaying some pages
which Internet Explorer doesn't even blink at
- I think its another of those exceedingly
annoying Microsoft quirks. I've ended up
having to have a version of both Netscape
and Internet Explorer on my machine just
to be able to view all the sites I have to go to
regularly (grumble, groan, rant, rave).
Anyways, it does show up in Internet Explorer
even though it doesn't with Netscape (maybe
a glitch to be fixed Laserlight?).
Cheers
Beth
P.S. Take care John.
