Jon, do you mind if I ask what you mean by "hide all styles from
Netscape" ?? do you mean you don't reference any CSS if you're
displaying in NS4.x?

Also, I'm still using tables for layout and I don't really have any
issues.  I presume you're using CSS and absolute-positioning?  is this
commonplace now?

In cases like this I tuck the <form> tag between the <table> and <tr>,
or <tr> and <td>.  Usually works.
