Looks like you have a bad chunk of TABLE code that is causing Netscape to barf...

==========
<tr>
 <td height="1" width="143" valign="top">
  <div align="left">
   <p>Work Authorization<font size="2"><b><br>
   </b></font><font size="2"><br>
   </font>
  </div>
 <td height="1"><a name="q26"></a>Are you open to hiring Foreign Nationals?
<input type="radio" name="Foreign" value="Yes">Yes <input type="radio"
name="Foreign" value="No">No
  <p>If yes, do you have any special Visa requirements? <input type="text"
name="Visa" size="29"></p>
  <a name="q28"></a>
  <p>Do you hire <b>only</b> U.S. Citizens/Residents? <input type="radio"
name="Citizen" value="Yes">Yes <input type="radio" name="Citizen" value="No">No
</tr>
===============

Looks like you are missing a couple of closing </td> tags.   Putting those back
in should fix things (at least they did on my machine).
