Hi, great board with some great discussions. Hopefully you guys and girls can give me a hand with something that is giving me lots of trouble.
We recently released a redesign of a community newspaper's web site. A week or so after release, we started receiving complaints from users of Netscape 8.1 that our pages weren't displaying correctly. We didn't develop with Netscape in mind and in fact I was surprised to hear that Netscape was still releasing versions. Granted, of users going to our site, less than a percent are using Netscape 8.1, but the powers that be want it fixed regardless.
My problem is that in IE and Firefox, my page displays fine. In Netscape, on menu rollovers and tabbed navigation clicks, elements on the page are jumping around to the point where navigation becomes so frustrating that it's impossible to continue.
From my experiments, it seems that Netscape does not like css changes to from the display:block to display:none. I can almost fix it, but of course it breaks IE. (the most frustrating part of my job is getting things to work in IE).
I can't find any mention of this problem in any forums on the entire internet (and I've searched them all :) )
Here is the address of our site:

The same problem happens at cnn.com and at gamespot.com
Any help is greatly and deeply appreciated.
