Allan,

I think I know what's the cause of most of the problems we had with
Netscape's understanding of CSS. <blockquote> is just the nastiest
manifestation of it.

Namely, we use <table> for the layout purposes. That is something we had
to do before, but with CSS there are other ways. W3C guys openly
encourage change in that direction.

I have made a page that uses <div> instead of <table> for layout. Take a
look at: http://www.cs.wm.edu/~zvezdan/LyX/www-user/
In Netscape it'll look the same as yours (except the navbar background),
but in more modern browsers you will notice that the menu is pinned up.
The text scrolls, but the menu stays in place "sticked" to the window,
and easily accessible. I like the feature, and it it took me some time
to make it to at least appear in Netscape.

The css is included as a second one in XHTML header (cascaded) and it's
called pinmenu.css. Take a look at XHTML. It's much more readable than
the <table> version.

I put on the page a test of hfill in a title using class="right", 
and a test of <backquote>. Doesn't crash Netscape now!

One fix also. In Konqueror LyX mascot was not right aligned. I put the
<img> statement in a <p class="right"></p>.

The only change I would do is "top: 1em" in the div.pinmenu class. It's
currently 10em to be in approximately same place as before. 1em would
pin it in the upper left corner. It can also be changed to go to the
right corner if you want.

Tell me what you think.

Best regards,
