I've noticed that NSN does other funny things with elements in tables.
I have a page with both external links and targets inside a large
table. In the external pages that are linked to, there is a link back
to a target anchor in the referencing page (still following?). NSN 3.01
W95/NT is unable to find the target anchor when it comes back to the
page - instead taking the viewer to the end of the page. A reload of
the page is necessary before NSN again recognizes the target anchor
names.

Regarding the tables: MSIE 3.02 does not display a FONT color override
inside an anchor. But beware when you use stylesheets! If you declare a
color for either BODY or P, that color overrides all of the LINK colors
and you MUST declare the anchor pseudo-classes (A:link, etc.) if you
want links to appear in another color.
