My site looks different in Netscape than in IE. Is there a way to fix this??
Thanks,
Dan

Well, you could start by not designing in one browser and then trying others only after you're done.
Anyway, either you're HTML is flawed, in which case to "fix it" you'd want to correct whatever you've done wrong. That, or you're simply doing something that Netscape and IE treat differently, in which case the best you can hope to do is try to find some middle ground that looks okay in both or make separate pages for both browsers. It's also possible that you've confused some IE-specific code for real HTML, to fix that get rid of it and do it correctly.
Also remember that there's more than one version of IE and Netscape (Netscape 4 and 6 are worlds apart, for example), and more types of browsers than just those two. As I suggested to start with, it is impossible to design solely in one and then hope later to "fix it" to work in the others.

No, there isn't a way to make them identical. (Other than writing in HTML v.3) What you can do is make it so that each of them will present an acceptable view. There are several HTML books at the library that will tell you what features are supported on one but not the other (bordercolor for example.)
Now, what does your site look like on Mozilla?
