No problem--for as many years as my e-mail address has been
tdowling at somewhere.edu, it's amazing how often my own fingers decline to
type it correctly.

For Netscape 4.x, this should probably address the font issue:

=========
BODY, TD, TH {
  font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
}
=========

The TD and TH table cells *should* inherit the font-family property from
BODY, of course, but NS4's table rendering is incapable of this.

I find that NS4 will occasionally still revert to some default settings
after a form element, but this is really about the best you can hope for.
