[WEB4LIB] netscape vs. internet explorer

[Kevin W. Bishop]

Looking at your source code I note that the ending table tag (< /table>) is 
missing.  You'll find that IE is much more "forgiving" of authoring errors 
than Netscape is.

If you validate your code when encountering problems of this nature, the 
validator will very likely find the problem for you.  (Validators can be a 
web designers best friend!)

I like this one:
