Mylvaga,
I am sure that much more detail will be required for the very helpful folks in this forum to help you out. Post the portions of your script that are generating your HTML output. Tell us what browsers (version as well as name) it does work with and the version/s of Netscape you are having the problem with.
Some quick things to look for are incompatible stylesheet formatting and perhaps javascript that the version of Netscape you are using doesn't handle properly (post the version of Netscape you are using as well). If you are outputting IFrames, Netscape won't handle it and pretty much any DHTML can be tricky from browser to browser, particularly if one of those browsers is Netscape 4.7x or below.
Something to keep in mind, your CGI script is neither compatible nor incompatible with Netscape (it runs on the server, not the client), it is the output it is generating that is incompatible. If you are getting output that works successfully with the another browser, you are well on your way, your script does "work." The trick is to determine what portion of the out put is causing Netscape a problem.
