IE and Netscape 7.0 have me in a bunch

My web site in IE looks great but in Netscape 7.0 the pages load with gaps and space... HOWEVER, when you refresh the page they look as they were intended. Is there some sort of code that would treat the page as a refresh so as to obliterate this problem? Any other possible fix? Thanks for your time.

it all looks a little broken to me, no matter what browser i look at it with.

you're using tables (with many nests at that) to layout the site which doesn't really help when trying to trawl through the code. using tables for layouts is a bit old hat now and you will probably find that as new browsers are release you're going to have to keep coming back to the site to fix it - i doubt you'll ba able to charge that to the client as it'll be your fault for not doing it properly in the first place.

use firefox and install the web dev toolbar to outline the table cells - that might help you find out what's going wrong and where.

or use css to give your table elements (<table><tr><td>)different coloured borders so you can see where things are breaking.

also, add a doctype to your page, it'll make browsers behave properly.
