a little off-topic, but this web site is truly bad in design.
whoever designed this website is one of those people who try to shut out
those whose web browser does not fit into his little world of thinking and
all i got was some dumb page asking me to upgrade or download a different
browser.
this is about as cardinal a sin as saying "best viewed at 600x800"...

i don't think you can blame webdesigner to focus on making "cool" stuff
instead of fighting netscape's buggy implementation of web standards...

i've made a lot of webdesigns and evrytime i could i made it
netscpae/macintosh/etc... friendly, but sometimes you just have to get rid
of netscape 4.x because it is such a piece of junk that you simply can't
work with it...

the reason why this particular website filters netscape 4 is because of its
weird javascript handling of objects (div), and i can really understand why
they are doing it.

you simply can't code "out of the w3c book" with netscape, it's impossible
to get something working straight...

take a look at www.dhtml.com and you'll see that 90% of the code is netscape
compatibility/bugs related.

imho of course ;-)))
