I have noticed that in numerous web pages Netscape 6 displays incorrectly.
Specifically if you have a table that is not correctly opened or closed
Netscape will fail but IE will be fine. This also happens with form
objects. Using Netscape 6 many web pages will fail to display a form object
(dropdown menu etc) at all, and will not generate an error message.
If you have trouble getting a page to display in netscape (or any other
browser) view the page in the browser and do a view code, then search
through the code for your mistake. I say "your mistake" because this is
almost always a result of a table tag (table, td, tr, etc) in the wrong
place or a missing table tag.
