Netscape 6 Liquid Table update -

It seems that at these certain browser widths, NN6 does some rounding
off to make sense of the conflicting percentages, and results in the
dropped pixel from the 100% width cell (thanks, James). This led me
to a solution.
The workaround is to remove the table tag width attribute (the less
than 100% width) and nest it in another table with the desired table
tag percentage width attribute.
I'm not thrilled about nesting the tables I have at my site, just for
this rare NN6 quirk! Do weird stuff just for NN4...now do different
weird stuff for NN6, to make up for the weird stuff you did for NN4!
