It's not quite finished but I have two problems so far:

I used a Highlight Table Script (the one where you put your mouse over it and it changes colors) and something strange is happening on my page. When I put my mouse over the last table (says Links) and then move it slowly downward, the spaces between the individual tables disappear. It totally distorts the look IMO. The solution is probably simple but what can I do :o

Second problem is probably something that has been heard here all the time and/or can't be helped. I viewed the page using IE5.5 and it looked good, or atleast the way I planned it to look. Then I saw it on NS6.1 and it was distorted. Tables weren't visible, wide spacing, etc.,etc..... Is there someway I can make it look the same in all browsers. Or is there some kind of program for that? Because when I change something in NS it looks good and in IE its messed up, then I change something in IE.... well, you know the rest.

I'd appreciate if someone could help me. I need to finish this site ASAP.

Again, the URL is: http://reproglobal.iminbudget.com/reproci/index.html

Thanks a lot.

Is there a way to make your page look the same in IE and Netscape 6.x? Yes, just make sure you're not making any mistakes. IE will overlook your errors, Netscape's going to hold you to them. If you get it right, it's going to look find in both. It's a little more difficult making it also look fine in 4.x, but not at all impossible. Your "tables not showing up" problem is probably because they're empty, Netscape doesn't render a table with nothing in it, but when I looked at your page I didn't notice any problem with this. The sidebar is pushed further down in Netscape than it is in IE, that's because you haven't got your vertical alignment set in the table cell it's in, it's centering itself. The highlight doesn't work because you're using an IE-specific script. Cross-browser ones do exist, I'd suggest looking for one.

I am working on getting it to look better in Netscape and its going well. Thanks.

But I still have a problem with the script. It also does the problem I stated earlier in IE. (spaces between tables disappear)
