Styles set in linked style sheets do not always apply to classes inside your document. When using <DIV> tags, if Netscape is not applying a style set in your CSS page, you need to write the style inline in your HTML.
Netscape sometimes crashes if there is a valid style applied to a <SELECT> object. Changing the order that the styles are placed in the style attribute of various HTML elements can potentially change the output as well. An example of this is the "position: relative;" style as applied to a "<DIV>" object. It is not uncommon for the HTML text "<DIV style='position:relative; border-bottom-style: solid'>" to render differently than "<DIV style='border-bottom-style: solid; position:relative'>", or for Netscape to crash in some of these cases.
When working with tables, it is necessary to set the style in the containing object for Netscape to apply the style to the intended object. For example, when rendering the following HTML using Netscape, the style contained in "firstStyle" is applied to the contained <SELECT> object.
