Author problems with FrontPage and Netscape

My website (www.consumerhealthjournal.com) looks great in Explorer, but HORRIBLE in Netscape. It's the worst in netscape 6.2, in which the photo is in the upper-right corner instead of mid-article where it belongs; but the tables don't look as I've design
ed them to, nor does the spacing, fonts (which are all Arial), or borders. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks-

Ali,
You are using some features that don't work in Navigator, such as
the VML shapes. You need to reset the Page Compatibility to IE and Netscape
Navigator through the Tools | Options | Page Compatibility in order to avoid
features that Navigator won't view. FP ships with this on by default.
Unfortunately, changing this won't alter code that is already written, you
would have to start the page over.

Some of your table cell widths also don't add up. You have a table,
the first one, with a width of 775. The two cells are 601 and 149 adding up
to 750, thus missing 25 pixels and maybe causing Navigator to choke.

Your best bet is to restart the page design after you've changed the
page compatibility back so you don't have to worry about the Navigator
issues as much.

Hope tihs helps,
