I have a table floating right, "Our Mission"
http://www.exstrategies.com/temp1.htm

Code:
_________________________
<table border="0" cellpadding="4" style="border: 3px double #990000; margin:
8,4,8,8" width="200" id="table3" align="right" bgcolor="#FFFBDF">
<tr>
<td>
<p align="center"><b>OUR MISSION</b><br>
<font size="2">Expand business potential for financial services firms
by providing
cost-effective marketing and distribution strategy, planning and
execution management
services.</font></td>
</tr>
</table>

Can somebody tell me why the margins outside the table work in IE but not NS7?

Because it is no supported ?

Well, Tom, that's not actually a helpful solution; but I did realize that I
forgot to include the measurements. And that was helpful.

Thanks anyway.

Make sure you test in version of NS that think will be visiting your web
site, like 4, 6 and 7

You can also use table properties to float a table. and if you use a nested
table you maintain a border as well.

I found the answer to my own question with the help of another great newsgroup:
I figured I'd post it here to maybe help someone in the future...

The problem was that
1. I had forgotten to use any measurements after the margin: 8,4,8,8; and
2. Netscape does not support using commas to separate values.

Below is the proper form for IE and NS.
