My first guess would be that your using an outdated HTML draft. HTML 3.0
(assuming for a meoment that there ever really was such a thing) has
expired, and Netscape probably doesn't support some of its stranger
elements and attributes anymore.
I do know that in 3.2, the <tr> tag can have only two elements -- align and
valign. And there is no "decimal" value for the align attribute.
See: <http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/TR/REC-html32.html#table> for more info.
I would try and stick to the HTML 3.2 specification in the future. You
will likely wind up having to update your 3.0 code later down the road.
