netscape vs. internet explorer

[feldner]

hello.  just a question if you don't mind...

i am currently taking a web design class under joyce latham.  for one of our 
assignments we had to make a table.  unfortunately, the table that i created 
can only be viewed in explorer.  when viewed in netscape, all that appears is 
the purple-ish background.

(the table:  http://leep.lis.uiuc.edu/seworkspace/feldner/icecream_table.html)

could someone possibly explain to me why this is happening?

thank you very much.

sincerely,
