Could someone with netscape do me a favour. Visit the site in my signiture using Netscape. That works fine. Now click on "FAQs" on the left hand side. On my computer this causes the main table to go wider than the 100% it's set to... any ideas why? Or if this is common what can I do about it?

IE is so SO much better... but you can't QUITE ignore those Netscape users. Soon...

I just opened your site in Mozilla (0.9.3) and there was no problem with it. Everything held its size perfectly, if that's of any help.

looks fine on my netscape... (actually .9.3)

IE isn't better, it only makes your sloppy work look better. i find its a lot easier if you code netscape first since its much less tolerant of stuff.

OK I *think* this might be it.

If you nest a table in a cell and put it at 100% width. IE treats this as 100% of the cell. Netscape seems to treat it as 100% of the page...? Sound likely?

Your site looks fine in:

IE6
NS 4.78
Mozilla 0.9.3

I dunno what to tell you. It's all on W2k Server if that helps.

Hmm well I've found the problem. I have an align="left" in my nested table and for some reason that causes it! Take it out and everything's fine.

This was on Netscape 4.74, maybe it had a bug?
