The differences between Internet Explorer and Netscape can be vast. I
always recommend web publishers preview your pages with both. But
also there are some features that can only be used in one browser or
the other. Since the browser wars went full scale, whenever I
encounter an error on a page, or can't access a page, I launch both
browsers.

I've notice that a lot of web pages created in Microsoft Front Page,
will reject Netscape browsers the first time attempting to link to
them. Click again in your in, an irritation surely, but the message
regarding incompatible browser is enough to scare most novice into
downloading a new browser.

Colors, images, and fonts are other scary things. E e e k factor.

So its always worthwhile to double check.
