I've just recently finished a beta-version of the website for my workplace, and I've come across three major problems, all having to do with cross platform compatibility. Below are my three problems (listed in order of importance), as well as a link to the webpage:<br />

1. If you click on the blue 'Case Studies' link in the middle of the page, you encounter MAJOR problems in Netscape -- the page wont even load, and often times it crashes the entire browser. However, the page looks absolutely fine in IE. I posted this question about a week ago in this forum and somebody gave me the great suggestion of checking my code against an HTML validator. I did just that, and I fixed all of the problems that it listed, and STILL it does not load in Netscape. This is a major concern and I simply cannot figure out what the problem is. I know that the site relies heavily on nested tables, and that netscape doesnt handle these as gracefully as IE, but certainly that cannot be the reason why the browser is crashing, can it? Im stumped!<br />
<br />
2. I created the site while previewing in IE5.0 on the macintosh. I've noticed that, on many other browsers, there are small spaces between the main vertical nav bar that goes down the left side of the site (i.e. there is a space between 'about' and 'projects lab' and 'supported technolgies', etc etc). However, when I created this nav bar (using Fireworks), the spaces werent there, and also do no appear in IE5.0 mac. I've tried many things (including hspace and vspace tags) but cannot seem to close these buttons... Any suggestions?<br />
<br />
3. Is there any way to create a 'fixed' background in netscape, or is this an IE-exclusive attribute? In Netscape, my background image tiles and looks terrible.<!--content-->Please don't cross-post.
