I did some testing. It seems function MapWhandleresize() in MapDHTMLWidget.js is the culprit. It actually calls for a reload. I changed the code in my version. The function MapWPositionMapDHTML which was collecting only IE browsers is actually also testing for Nav6 browsers. I changed the code in MapWhandleresize to test for Nav4 and then the other two (Nav6 and IE) are running the function. So it's now: function MapWhandleresize() if (CWCIsNav4) { location.reload(); } else if (CWCIsIE || CWCIsNav6) { MapWPositionMapDHTML(); } } Similar things are happening in the KeyMapDHTML widget, but I'm not using it to test. I did a search on location.reload for all files in chameleon. Now I'm not re-posting in Firefox, or Netscape 7. But am in Netscape 4. Although the site looks so bad in Netscape 4 I think it should abandoned with an error message (IMHO).

implemented Liz's suggestion, works well in Nav 6+/IE ... as noted, Netscape 4 is completely hosed.
