But if you find that you must nest, make sure you have absolute table widths on each table, rather than a percentage or no width. They render much faster with the absolute width, even in Netscape. __ Why Share?

RE: Yet another Netscape 4.75 question ...
Dimo: Your problem is the 18 nested tables you use to display the page. Netscape parses tables from the innermost to the outermost, and will not render the page until ALL of the tables have been parsed. To get your page to load faster in Netscape, reduce the number of NESTED tables you are using. HTH Christian N.

Sorry to bring this hairy issue again, but I am having issues with 4.7x versions of Netscape. I have a page that when loaded in IE or NN 6.2 loads normally fast.

Re: Yet another Netscape 4.75 question ...
I have this happen as well but in NS 4.06. I can tell you that NS renders tables much slower than IE (when there is a lot of tables anyways), but I suspect there is more to it than that.

Re: Yet another Netscape 4.75 question ...
Another thing that I noticed with NS 4.75 is the amount of whitespace that is present. I would view your source and check and see if you have it in yours. Mine had about 600 lines of white space in it. There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and [Unix] BSD. We don't believe this to be a coincidence.
