Hi folks
I'm having a terrible problem where I can't get Netscape 6.0 to display this page the way I want it to. IE 5 or 6 displays it fine. At issue is the main content "box". I want it to be 100% of the page. IE does this fine. NN6 stops it at some apparently predetermined length. My page is much more complex than this, but I've broken it down to basics to figure out the problem. This code is only long because I've generated 15 paragraphs of nonsense to show the problem.
Here's the code...PLEASE try it out!
Thanks!
