Your close table tag isn't. Change it to </table> and you'll be swell. NE is particular about it's tables. And I'm guessing the META content-type = ... isn't doing much. IE and NE have different ways of determining content type; IE ignores the content type tag, NE pays orea attention, but you've got it after the <HTML> tag, so it may be too late.

    no, meta-tags can't change much since the content-type is already sent with the http-header (which, in normal case, you create all by yourself when writing perl-cgis). And a meta-tag in that form doesn't exist anyway. The correct version is (e.g.):
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
    (xhtml compatible..)

    If using tables you should be extremly carefull. NS has some really weird behavior, e.g. when you give a columns width in percent you can't center it anymore, etc.. (there some ways to work around, but i had that problem several times..) Try using CGI.pm or close ALL tags.. It doens't matter if you have too many closing tags, but it matters if you don't have enough..

    Sometimes you overlook the obvious don't you?

    Things are wonderful - I blame the Monday bug for all the problems.
