Don't know if anyone replied yet, but I just took a quick look, so:

The top tier navigation items like "Calendar" should be bold right? And
you have classed the TD so that stuff in it should appear bold. This all
trickles down correctly in IE, but not so in Netscape. I think you'll
need to class the A so that it too is explicitly bold.

(also it wouldn't hurt to move the style block into the HEAD. Netscape
will be less forgiving of this than IE. ) Even better make it a linked
style sheet so it gets cached and there's less to maintain... that is if
it doesn't change between pages. )

Also keep an eye on that font. Your font sizes are so small, you may
bump into the problem where a bold font-weight just doesn't exist (or is
no different than the regular) at that size.

could be fixed no-wrappable content, could be a html error that a
validator will pick up. Could be other stuff. I'll look back later today
if I've time and you've got no more answers.
