[thelist] Mac/IE layer positioning issue

I have a similar, but different problem - the homepage for a website I'm
doing for a friend's band displays perfectly fine on Mac and PC IE, but
breaks badly on Mac Netscape (and I haven't yet checked Netscape for pc - so
if anyone would be kind enough to break the bad news!). The homepage is at:

http://www.lobwebsite.f2s.com

Any advice would be most welcome.

All the best, 

Colin.
