I have just realized that Netscape doesn't show my bold commands in my navigation bar with css or html although it shows fine in the Explorer. With my css, it is {...font-weight: bold}. With the html it's <b></b>. How can I make it show for both? Also, on the index page, why don't the little pics line up like they do in explorer? It seems a pain to have to put them into a table.

Thank you for your help. :)

If you want bold text then yes you can use:

p{font-weight:bold;}

<p>Bold Text</p>

I'm sorry but I can't help you with the netscape problem because I'm at school and don't have it here.

What version of Netscape; 4.x series or the Gecko Mozilla based 6.0+ ?

It says Netscape 7.01 , Mozilla/5.0. I don't really use it, just have it to see what my sites look like in it. Maybe I should check for an update since you mentioned the 6.0. I'll be back. ;)

Instead of using bloated Netscape 7.1x you could try either the Mozilla Development Suite: http://www.mozilla.org/ or Mozilla Firebird: http://texturizer.net/firebird/download.html

When I said 6.0+ I meant Netscape 6.0 and upwards because they are based upon the Mozilla Gecko Rendering Engine (GRE).

I found no issues with bold <b> within Mozilla, it's probably a case of you using deprecated <font> values or CSS inheritance.

Because when the CSS was disabled the results for the fonts were the same in both M$ IE 6.0 and Mozilla 1.x. In view of the fact that within the CSS you had the table division set to: 'font-weight: lighter;' that would influence the text within the cell and make it lighter rather than darker.

The reason your picture thumbnails are about one pixel out is probably due to the nesting of the divisions since when separated from the rest of the code they line up correctly on Mozilla.

M$ IE 6.0 has a habit of making thinks look right even if they aren't.
