This occurs only on the home page and one of the other pages, so quick work-around was to do a check for browser type and if not IE then to redirect to a Netscape-friendly version of the page. However, it takes about 10-15 seconds for the redirect to occur and it seems to load the IE page for ½-second and then jumps. Any ideas? Tim: rudy's idea about using @import works well if you don't mind a "functional" NS4.7 page vs. a "designed" NS4.7 page - i.e., you have to dump most of the CSS positioning stuff to get it to work for Netscape. Or you could still use HTML tables for positioning, like I do for our site. I have one code path that works for NN4.x, NN6/7, Opera5/6/7, Mozilla, and IE5/6. I will admit to doing one sniff (I look for "Netscape" in the User Agent on the server side) and pull in a single-line CSS file that adjusts page margins for Netscape. I could just have easily done it with a response.write from ASP instead of using a separate CSS sheet. It's not fancy or cutting-edge or semantic or even cool, but as a lone developer my time is limited and I *know* that using HTML tables will work the first time across all browsers. And it validates to HTML 4.01 Transitional, which is as good as it's going to get with NS4.7.
