I'm trying to create a stylesheet specifically for netscape 4.06 to emulate the look and feel of our main site, which uses CSS and works for IE5/IE6 (this isn't a public site).

Does anyone have any suggestions for a working method to create a 3 column plus header arrangement in the early Netscape 4 versions? It doesn't matter if this only works in NN4!

Currently I'm trying the following setup:

#leftbox {
top: 140 px;
border: 1px solid #000;
position: absolute;
}
#content {

}

#rightbox {
top: 140 px;
left: 600 px;
border: 1px solid #000;
position: absolute;
}

and the HTML page has the divs in the order:
content,leftbox,rightbox

however, as soon as i try adding in margins, or a border around the content div, Netscape crashes :(

I've been reading and re-reading Richinstyles netscape bug guide [richinstyle.com...]
to see why this might be happening without success.

I'm guessing it may be to do with what's in the content div (a couple of tables, links etc.) but if I do need to rearrange the HTML, I don't even know where to start in order to make this work for netscape!

Any suggestions would be gratefully received!

Wow! CSS in NN4.06? :(
It's bad enough in NN4.7

Have you tried absolute positioning for the content div?
