NN4 is notorious for not being 100% compliant with CSS2, HTML4 and some
JavaScript/DHTL functions, all of which LISTSERV web i'face uses quite a
lot. When I looked at your homepage in NN 4.79 I had exactly the same
problem you saw. When I inspected the code source I noticed that there was
quite a sizable chunk of HTML missing that you'd normally expect to be
there. Stuff like the opening <HTML> tag, the entire <HEAD> section and the
Style Sheet plus the corresponding closing tags at the end of the document.
This is probably where NN is choking. Unfortunately, I can't pin down
exactly which template is supposed to insert this; maybe L-Soft can point it
out?
LISTSERV uses some non-standard HTML which seems to work fine in Opera, NN6
and IE. One thing to try is to edit the $WWW_ARCHIVE_HEADER and
$WWW_ARCHIVE_TRAILER templates and specify using standard HTML 4.01. This
forces LISTSERV to use more 'correct' HTML and may fix up your problem.
