Actually, it is often the problem of NS-4, rather than the site.  Let me
elaborate. 

A good XHTML document will look very plain and boring if the browser
does not understand CSS.  You should get what looks like a default HTML
page with no styles at all.  NS-4 stuffs this up completely by
interpreting some of the CSS, but not all, so colours are unreadable
because it does not understand "inherit".  At other times it incorrectly
interprets parts of the CSS, so "em" measurements (one "em" is the width
of a capitol M, or the length of this â dash) are interpreted as "px"
(which is between 0.25â0.35mm).  Life would be infinitely easier if NS-4
users turned off CSS.

*Sigh*
