Netscape 3, and earlier, have trouble with tables. Which makes it a good
tool for testing the look of a table since if any browser will have trouble
it will be Netscape 3. Netscape 3 is still widely used so one should be
careful with setting up tables. I always set up tables as percentages
rather than in pixels which seems to work well.
