Netscape table trauma - respecting the TD width attribute

Hi folks,

I going out of my mind wrestling with Netscape (4.76) and its inability to 
properly render HTML. Please help!
I'm not asking for it to do anything too complicated -- I just want it to 
respect the TD cell width I set at 40%; it just seems to ignore the tag. 
Dreamweaver and IE 5 render it just fine:

The "Title" column is set to a width of 40%, but is displaying at somewhere 
around 25%. Since none of the other cells/columns have their widths set, I 
don't see where this should be a problem. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Ken
