DBMan HTML bug
I have been using a bit of dbman and I see its created for inserting a table inside of another table. I think that Netscape cannot display a table inside of another table. Has anybody experienced the same problem?

I've have several nested tables in my dbman and haven't had any problems. Netscape is really picky with how it reads HTML so if you miss a closing <td>, </tr> or </table>, it'll get all messed up. Internet Explorer has better error trapping and it will still display if there is something missing in the code - Netscape won't display it. So check your code thoroughly to make sure all of your tags are closed off.

There actually is a bug in the dbman html. As far as I can remember the problem is with a ROWSPAN or COLSPAN attribute in a TD tag in the main table, which makes the outer border on the right-hand side a little wider than it should. It's just a small error, and it shouldn't affect any nested tables, but stranger things have happened.

It also depends on what browser version you are using. jdulberg is accurate that Internet Explorer is more efficient in trapping errors than Netscape.
