Why do certain features of our web site work with IE 6
but doesn't work or look terrible on Netscape and other
browser. Is there any way to have our web site
compatible with both Microsoft Internet Explorer and
Netscape? Please advise.

That's kind of vague. IE6 is more compliant with the HTML RFQs. For
example, <Blink> is deprecated so IE6 doesn't recognize it while Netscape
still does.

IE is known as the "most forgiving" of all Web browsers. Its not a question
of IE being compatible with Netscape or vice-versa. The problem is that
*neither* of them are fully compliant with published W3 specs.

Have your website developer read, understand, and implement the specs for
HTML 4.01 or XHTML. Your problems should then be minimal.
