You can have it set to if they use netscape, they use a different page, by meens of Js (not sure how to detect browser type in JS though)

Don't use JavaScript to detect a browser and give it a different page. People can disable javascript. If they page isnt' displaying correctly, there's something wrong with the page usually, not the browser.

I visited your site with Firefox and the table widths for the main menu are the same all the way across.

I viewed your page in Firefox 1, Netscape 7.2 and IE6-Win and they all looked the same, then realized you were talking about Netscape 4.x :)

Bottom line with NS4: Keep the CSS VERY simple. Like only font sizes, colors, and font faces. Maybe a background color here and there for table cells. Nothing else because NS4 can't handle it. In fact, NS4 isn't even applying the styles for .top in your CSS file, thus the table that contains the main menu isn't 100% the width of the page.

If you're going to stick with tables for layout, only use CSS for fonts, colors, font sizes, and a few background colors. Put as much layout info into the HTML file in the form of attributes as you can. If you want a NS4-compatible page, you've got to dumb down the CSS and put more crud in your HTML file.

Or you could visit us at the CSS Forum (http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=7) to find out how to use no tables and all CSS for layout. Then you don't have to worry about 4.0 and older browsers :D

May I ask why 10.00%? The .00 is unnecessary, and for simplicity's sake- junk it.
