When you use relative table sizes (100%), and especially when nesting tables in tables, Netscape < 6.x loads the entire table in memory before rendering it. I didn't count how many levels of table nesting you have, but that is why it takes so long in older Netscape browsers. IE just cuts corners and renders as soon as it has a very poor idea, then rerenders when it gets a better idea.Mozilla/Netscape 6.x and 7.x have no problems rendering the page. It is up to you whether that is a problem...John-- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4720 Boston Way Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5747 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
