[WEB4LIB] netscape vs. internet explorer

[Andrew I. Mutch]

Sarah,

A quick peek at the code shows no closing </table> tag at the end of your
table. I'm sure that is what Netscape is choking on. You might also want
to run your table through a Validator to help clean up the code. NYPL's
Style Guide provides links and some helpful comments:

Of course, Joyce is on this list...
:)
