div containers in netscape 6.1 not working properly

I have pages with the content shown with nested divs, it looks basically like this:


<div class="container_outer">
&nbsp;
<div class="container_right">
*sidebar for images etc, floated right*
</div>
<div class="container_main">
*main content, also floated right*
</div>
</div>

This works fine for all new/half-old browsers, IE5+, Netscape6+ and Mozilla 1.0. But when I have a series of these nested divs (2 x code above) it doesn't show right for netscape 6.1.
Mozilla, Netscape7, and IE have no problems.

When viewing these pages in netscape 6.1, the first "container outer" part shows correctly, but the ones supposed to be positioned below are displayed on top of the first one, offset slightly below the first.

Why is this occuring? Is it just so that Netscape 6.1 has bad support for divs?

Thanks,
Sam

Hi SamSWE

Hmmm. How many of the visitors are using NE 6.1? if you dont know or if therre are only very few i wouln't spend time on getting in right in this browser.

You could find out what makes it look ok in NE 6.1 and serve it a speciel stylesheet via ex. PHP but otherwise - IMHO, dont spend time on it.

Try surfing the web with the browser and you will find that alot of sites dont renders correctly with it.

Kind Regards

Thanks for the opinion, I guess I've got a bit snowed in on making the page accessible for as many browsers as possible. Which is a good thing in general, but anyways... I guess I'll leave it be.
