    How about telling us the site address so we might be able to have a look?

    badly written HTML.

    ok that was a bit cruel, but seriously it is.

    Do View source in netscape and it should highlight where the badly written HTML is. IE just happily ignores HTML errors and formats away which is why there are so many bad HTML programmers.

    The real reason is that netscape sucks.

    the problems are in the HTML, esp stuff generated from frontpage, netscape gets wild confused if a tag isn't closed.

    Netscape sucks alright but it's nothing to do with the HTML parser, it's just a little strict, the way it should be really.

    The problem is the HTML alright, if you're using Frontpage throw it out and fire up notepad, or else get a proper editor like Dreamweaver or Pagemill.

    Or else get a book on HTML.

    I reckon it just doesn't work with Netscape and you should give up now.
    There's too much positive thinking nowadays.
