using div within tables

[cow]

when i use a div within a table, all the text contained in that div spans beyond the table in netscape.

but the text stays within the table boundaries in explorer.

1) why is this the case?
2) how can i get both browsers to keep the text within the table?

thanks in advanced!

In Netscape, Tables and Layers don't mix. Try making your DIV relatively aligned and do not specify a height and a width. I know this defeats the purpose of using DIVs as containers but its how Netscape works with their limited implementation of the DOM in their 4.X product.
