Make it Netscape compatible!

I recently switched to using Mozilla from MSIE. It's a far superior browser, except at one website. This one. I don't know why, but I noticed this in Netscape browsers. Your page header is all screwed up. There is black space between images you use. The rest seems fine, but you are the only website I've come across that doesn't look right in Mozilla/Netscape. You should really try to make the site more universal browser friendly or however you want to say it.
i havent noticed any probs within netscape, but i know a number of other sites that look horrible in netscape

I've tested in Netscape and Opera with absolutely no problems. If there's a problem with Mozilla, frankly I'm not going to worry about it.

Might want to make sure your Netscape browser is current: http://channels.netscape.com/ns/browsers/download.jsp

I prefer IE, but regardless, a lot of times you'll know to upgrade your browser only when "normal functions" start to fail....;)

I use Netscape 6, and have no problems at all.

I just looked at Netscape 7/Mozilla (they're both more or less the same thing) and indeed the formatting is hosed. The problem appears to be with the spacing of text or table cell padding or something. Regardless, I'm not going to worry about it to satisfy less than 1% of visitors until I get around to the redesign.

Netscape and Mozilla are differnt browser becasue Netscape got bought out by AOL and AOL now programs Netscape (which is why I don't like Netscape now). The Mozilla browser is program by the people who created netscape in the first place and at one time they were preatty much the same browser. Since AOL bought the name Netscape out, Mozilla is what Netscape should have been.

No, look again. Netscape 7 is based on Mozilla. Even the installer is nearly identical.

Netscape really seemed to *nosedive* somewhere between 4.5 and 6.0...since then, it is just a nightmare of interlocking capabilities and accessories which has resulted in a browser "just not worth the trouble". I am *compelled* to at least keep somewhat current with Netscape (the last one we recommended was 4.77, lol)...but IE is just the better browser....

As for Mozilla users and Opera users and such, I have to agree with Jeff....how much programming hassle is *reasonable* considering the number of people using these....

Opera actually jives pretty well with everything I've done, save for the fact that it by default ID's itself as IE. That doesn't work because in order to do the rich text posting, the site serves you based on the browser, and obviously Opera doesn't do this.
