Website won't display correctly in Netscape

[jtskr76]

Hello,
Does anyone have any ideas on why this website I've created will not display
even close to correctly in Netscape? I have to choose "use internet explorer
to display" when in Netscape to get it to look right, but don't want users to
have to do that. The tables seem to be horribly messed up when displayed in
netscape. I've found suggestions online to use a doctype, but that didn't
fix anything, that just messed it up in other directions.

The website is at http://www.omegaent.net

Any suggestions would be appreciated, thank you.

P.S. I've upgraded my internet explorer to the newest release and now I
cannot browse the responses within this frontpage community. They just won't
open when clicked on.

Did you use Word Art?

No, I'm not sure what Word Art is. Any other ideas? It was created with
FP2003.
Thanks

You're not controlling the width of the page properly.

If you use Outlook Express for your news reader....
Try connecting directly to the Microsoft news server using this link:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.frontpage.client

That should work

You use Microsoft Products and don't know what Word Art is? That's probaby
not a bad thing....since Word Art doesn't display correctly in browsers
other than IE (and P.C. versions of IE at that).

The basic table structure is hinky. And tables built with multiple cell
splits and merges are about as fragile as they come....

I saw that too. But, I was intrigued by the included page though..having two
graphics displayed at two different locations on the display page - I've
never seen that.

Thanks everyone for your responses, I did look at the two links below and
although I'm not entirely understanding why my particular site is completely
messed up in Netscape, it seems that through those links and the responses
I've gotten, that I"ve concluded that my cells aren't formatted correctly.
I'm not really sure how to go about starting to fix them though. should I be
using blank images to hold cells open and change the cells from fixed width
to a percentage, since I read in one of the links that Netscape doesn't like
empty cells. I do want to retain the 750px site width however which is why I
used fixed width cells in the first place. I guess I'm in need of a
suggestion for fomatting tables and cells to maintain a fixed site width.
Does anyone have any suggestion on doing that with my particular site in it's
current format?

Thanks again for everyone's time and responses.
