Have a web page with a couple of tables on it. Some of the text in the table actually sticks out beyond the borders of the table it is in when viewed in NS 6.1. The line with the text on it is right above the textarea tag and has the following:
<code>
<B>  Please enter a description.</B><BR><BR>
  Enter a <B>detailed</B> description of your question, including the commands used, and the exact wording of any error messages.<BR>
</code>

Here is the complete html for the page:

From everything I've heard the solution is simple: don't use NS 6.0. I haven't heard anything good about it.

Well there isn't anything you can do about that -- its a bug -- should be fixed in upcoming releases. Believe that it is fixed in the newer versions of Mozilla (the open source version of netscape 6).

Actually -- Netscape 6 might be a bit buggy but has very good html/css/dom support otherwise. When netscape 6.5 comes out (I think that is the one that will be synced with Mozilla 1.0) its going to be awesome. The latest nightly builds of Mozilla are better than IE 5.01 by far. ===

I don't think it's time yet to test our pages for NN6. It is still too buggy and, still, very few users installed it. I used to have two versions of my DHTML pages. With advent of NN6 there is a risk that I will need a third one. And I have to tell you this: I don't care how good it implements the standards, buf if I need to create a third version of all of my DHTML pages, that's going to be just too much pain in the #butt#. And I believe most developers will have similar reactions. We just don't want anymore mess.
