Unfortunatly under NS4 you have to turn on javascript (security alert!) to get style sheets working properly. If Javascript and stylesheets are already enabled, then the page might just be coded poorly (there are plenty of them out there). Chances are the developer only tested on IE and doesn't consider Netscape important enough to care about, or they wrote the whole thing in Frontpage or Word or some other horrible WYSIWYG HTML editor and would be taken aback by the concept of actually _testing_ a webpage before releasing it in the wild. -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
