Hi Kynn

In Netscape Communicator 4.7 on a Windows NT 4.0 platform some of the
tables have about 3 inches of white space above them.

Note that images in the magazine are included in  a table (illustrated
below) in order to stop the images overwriting the text (which does
damage access to the content).

As I've said before, writing accessible HTML may not be difficult but
providing accessible web sites that look attractive is more difficult
because of browser bugs :-(

<!-- Use table for images to overcome CSS bug in Netscape 4 -->
<table width="100%">
<tr align="center">
<td><img src="figure-1.gif" alt="Figure 1: The Netscape Personal
Toolbar" height="134" width="491" border="0"></td></tr>
<tr align="center"><td><strong>Figure 1: The Netscape Personal
Toolbar</strong></td>
</tr>
</table>
