Hi, I don�t have too many experience programming with HTML, but giving my first steps with it, I�ve found something I would like to know about. There are some elements (see the txt file with the sample code) that doesn�t work properly or doesn�t work at all in Netscape Navigator 4.7x, while they work perfectly under IE5. What i would like to know is why this happens, because I don�t like to say my site�s visitors to use IE5; the same way I don�t like someone to tell me which browser to use. So I would apreciate a lot if you can answer me. I think the problem is with last HTML 4 specifications but I�m not really sure. I�ve mailed Netscape support�s homepage but they haven�t answered yet. Well, that�s all. Thanks for your time.
