[thelist] Netscape rendering issues

I have a page that displays perfectly in IE (5+), decently enough (for now)
in NS4.7, and like utter garbage in NS6. It's mostly validated XHTML 1.0.

The page is at http://66.247.98.6/mBLAST/index.html

The problem seems to be that Netscape is putting in spaces and otherwise
resizing page elements at its own whim, and nothing that we do can change
it. (For example, there's a break within the logo in the top left and
another below the tagline).

We've run into this on other pages when we wanted to put different parts of
an image in separate table cells, but we've thus far been able to work
around it by combining images. We have some designs, though, where that
won't work. And we're stumped.

I've had three people pounding at this page all day long, and none of us has
been able to find a solution yet. Since we're all at the "insane" point,
we're beginning to wonder if there is no solution!

Thanks for any help you can give!
