 Hello,

I have several pages that contain the code below. All the pages all
look great in Firefox. But in IE6 and IE7, there is a problem--white
space vanishes and the text is too close to the objects above it.
Specifically, The <h3>Page Title</h3>appears too close underneath the
logo at the top of the page <td width="96%"><img src="../images/
mainnav_logo.jpg" /></td>. It's fine in Firefox, however.

Any ideas and help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,


======================
Here's the code.

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
        background-color: #878737;
}
-->
</style></head>
<body text="#333333" vlink="#333333" alink="#333333" leftmargin="0"
topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
<TABLE width="800" border=0 align="center" cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0
bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<TBODY>
<tr>
<td width="2%">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="96%"><img src="../images/mainnav_logo.jpg" /></td>
<td width="2%">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<h3>Page Title</h3>

Post a URL not the page code, and certainly not a fragment.

Which doctype declaration are you using and are you rendering with
strict or quirks mode? This is quite possible to be your problem, but
we can't tell because you didn't post a URL.

Additionally, your coding style is 10 years out of date. <table>
markup, 3.2 presentational attributes, no use of CSS. Few people will
work to fix such markup, it's better overall to start again and do it
clean. However you didn't post a URL to the whole page, so we can't
comment in any more detail.

It is really nice that you care about readers with Netscape 2.
However, many already have Netscape 3. And Netscape 3 does not
need these pseudo-comment markers any more.

You should also try out Netscape 3!
