My site & Netscape don't get on...
1) Why does my logo not show upo in NS6.1 but is OK in IE5.5?
2) why do the colors apper in darker in NS6.1?
3) why are the links a different color in NS6.1? (code below for css file:
a { text-decoration: none; }
a:link { color:"red"; }
a:visited { color:"red"; }
a:hover { color:"#03403C"; text-decoration: underline; }
body { font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 8pt; color: "black" }
td { font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 8pt; color: "black" }
.nav
a:link { color:"white"; }
a:visited { color:"#03403C"; }
a:hover { color:"#03403C"; text-decoration: underline; }Three simple questions, probably three simple answers but I'm too thick to work it out!!

Your site looks good in Mozilla 0.9.6 (Netscape is very closely related to Mozilla, and it is based on it). Your logo showed up fine. You need to work on your style sheets because the links show up in dark blue color. One thing I would avoid is referring to colors in your style sheets by their names... use the hex value instead.

K,
I changed the color refs in the css file to hex and they still don't show up properly and NS6.1 still won't display the logo....
Is it because the cell table is using the [b]background="myimage.gif[/] element?

1. no quotes around anything unless it is a font-name with more than one word
2. #03403c is not browser safe, so will render differently in different browsers
3. your syntax for the nav links was wrong (see above for corrected version)
4. mixing HTML styling with CSS styling in table cells can lead to hitchy reactions from NS 6.x browsers. If you're going to use CSS, go all the way, at least as far as background colours/images, font colours, font family, et cetera.
5. TIP: Netscape 4.x reads CSS from the perspective of the file, while others read it relative to itself. For that reason, you should always use the full root for linking to images from the CSS to avoid issues -- /images/whatever.gif
I'll have to come back to answer the logo question, because it's not visible (your site link) in this screen.

Okay, that was easy:
There is NOTHING in your table cell -- Netscape will not render any background in a table cell if there is nothing in it.
Why not:
??
Anyway, that's your problem.

using in empty td cells isa way to display td backgrounds
and if you use an image like Suzanne suggested, make sure the other td cells in that row (set of tr's) dont have a % width or you'll get gaps.
will/can cause alignment gaps
ampnbsp;
is the work around, as long as the table has a overall width it will expand to desired width
