what are your attributes for the table cells at the header & footer?
If you want to keep the scale thing going on. Next the entire thing within one table that has that function, then where the text is, allow that to scale and have everything be absolute.
hope that works.
FRESH!

no way? doesn't that figure...the one browser I dont need to test on!
On Netscape 6 there is all this space on the top of pages with not much content. i've set up the style sheet for the table to have a 100% height. I know it has to do with that but can't figure out a work around.
Any ideas? Pleasola?

Oooh Fresh!!! I'll try that. I'm sending you big cyber kisses. I'd marry you but should probably wait for patches of hair to grow back in. :)

First off, you are mixing DOCTYPES and well-formed code.
You are using XHTML closing rules within HTML 4.01. If you try to validate it against that DOCTYPE it will more than likely fail.
Either don't use the DOCTYPE, or use correct markup with it.
The site actually looks good in Mozilla 1.0.1 (on Linux) with just a couple of minor bugs - mainly standards related.
But probably your trouble lies in that CSS isn't meant to play with Tables. If you are going to use CSS for layout, you really can't use Tables. Or, you can't try to validate against a DOCTYPE.
My suggestion is remove the DOCTYPE and re-test it. Netscape has some standards compatibility issues - especially when validated against an incorrect DOCTYPE.

Also, note that 'height: 100%' doesn't really work that well anyway. Especially against Tables. You can might want to try encasing your Tables in DIV sets - it will allow more correct and variable usage of valid CSS.
But, seriously, it looks find in Mozilla and in Galeon on Linux...I wouldn't kill myself over a crappy browser like NS 6.
IE is the main user browser in the world, and if the user is Linux or MAC they will not likely be using NS for anything.

Netscape needs to just give up making browsers.

I wouldn't worry about it
