[thelist] JavaScript problem with Netscape 4.7

The following JavaS will prevent the page's content field from becoming too
wide on high resolution displays.
 
/* Restrict growth of element on very-wide displays   */
 
function resizeBox(){
 sObj = document.getElementById("container")
 if ( sObj ) {
  if(document.body.clientWidth) (document.body.clientWidth>1024) ?
sObj.style.width = "955px" :  sObj.style.width = "100%" 
 }
}
  
  window.onload = resizeBox;
  window.onresize = resizeBox;

--------------------------------------
 
 
Works great in IE, NS, but not NS 4.7.  I suppose it's because NS 4.7
doesn't respect how the CSS ID #container width is applied to the table:
 
<table id="container">
 
But it may be any number of other reasons.
 
Any suggestions appreciated.
 
Sam
