DIV layers inside of table cells in netscape

Hello,
I'm trying to make some drop down menu that popup when you move the mouse over a link, similar to those on Microsoft.com
I have them working for IE, wasn't to tough.
I created a table with one row, made 5 cells, each cell contained a link, then a <BR>, then the <DIV>. The link had an onMouseOver and onMouseOut that shows or hides the layer, the layer has the same bindings. This works great in Ie. But doesn't work at all in Netscape. It seems as though netscape wont handle layers that are in a cell and are bigger than that cell. How can I try to accomplish what i'm doing in netscape. It's becoming very discouraging.
thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if it could be done in Netscape, dynamicdrive.com has that example for IE, but not for netscape. Maybe replace the <div> tags with <layer> tags which is only supported by netscape 4 browsers. The javascripts will have to be changed to support that. I don't know too much about building pages for netscape because I don't have netscape installed on my computer. (I am not allowed to download it or install it, only the IT is allowed, but he's too busy setting up the database )

I wish I could help you more.

It may or may not work for your specific problem, but you can often nest your DIV in a Layer to add Netscape support where the DIV alone fails. IE ignores the Layer information, and the unused DIV information/styles are ignored by Netscape.
