I tried removing it, but it didn't have any effect.

I did want the table cell to be gold (it works perfectly in Netscape 4.75).=
 I
did try changing to hex values but it didn't have any effect either.

>Another thing to try is using <span> tags over the fonts instead of

When I tried this, it didn't even work in Netscape 4.75 anymore, let alone
Netscape 6. I'll copy below the full CSS I'm using, as maybe there's some=
 error
in it that I'm just not noticing:
