If Netscape (or Mozilla, or FireFox, or Opera, or ...) is
the default browser, then that is what your web page should
be opening in - particularly since many users of non-IE
browsers don't use IE simply because IE is one huge gaping
security hole.

If your web page uses standards-compliant HTML, JavaScript, etc.,
then it will display properly in Netscape, Mozilla, FireFox, Opera,
etc. If it does not use standards-compliant code, then fix it.
