[thelist] Re: [WD]: Tables expanding in Netscape (and other quirks)

[Diana & Mike Hyatt]

I've added a spacer gif to each row, but now I'm getting an unwanted light
green row above my side nav bar, even though I've set the height to 0. And
Netscape is STILL expanding the nav bar. Help!

P.S. Mark, thanks for referring me to the Zeldman book, looks great!
