I've been told the problem down to stylesheet support i.e the lack of it in NS4.
Any pointers as to how to correct this would be most appreciated.
Thankyou for your time

Try a HTML validator like this one: [htmlhelp.com...]
I've just had a quick look at your code and the problem is a missing closing table tag. If you add another </table> at the bottom of your page just before the </body> tag you page should appear.
You may also want to look into some of the other issues that the validator raises.
Best of luck!
You can group together table rows using <thead>, <tbody> and <tfoot> (or <tfooter>, I can't remember offhand). There can only be one <thead> and one <tfoot> in a table, but any number of <tbody>. Future browsers may use this for long tables that would otherwise take up more than the available screen height: the <tbody>s could be scrollable, so the <thead> and <tfoot> always remain visible. Already, a few browsers, when printing a table that spans several pages, will print the <thead> and <tfoot> on each page.
These are not implemented in NS4, so they will be ignored.
It's not a style sheet issue, because there is nothing at all on the page. If it were a style sheet problem, the text would be there but invisible, and you could highlight it. However, one thing you should always avoid if possible is mixing HTML and CSS colour attributes: stick to one or the other. If you specify this <body> tag, for example:
<body bgcolor="#000000" style="color: #ffffff;">
...that will show up white on black unless CSS is not supported or been disabled, in which case it will show up default (usually black) on black. That's a very obvious example, but it can be much more subtle than that, especially if you have an external stylesheet.
Anyway... I tried to count <table> and </table> tags, and lost count entirely, but when an entire page refuses to show up in NS4, the most likely explanation is that there is one closing </table> tag too few.
