I know that this is Netscape but it is the latest version (7.1) which is based
off  the latest Mozilla (1.4) so I assume this page will have the same rendering
problem under Mozilla as I heard nothing changed since 1.4rc3. The problem is
also in the latest version of Firebird (0.6).

confirming Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030706

simple browser check in http://www.fedex.com/css/nncheck.js looks for Mozilla or
Netscape, but not for versions.

Working perfectly in Netscape 4.8, so seems to be Tech Evangelism bug.

The problem is this tag:
<div style="position: relative; top: 0px; left: 0px; width:555px; height:45px;">
which forces the height to 45px making most of the table data overflow out of
that table cell causing the overlap.

-> TE

You're right Mats, the problem (apart from others which W3C validator shows)
goes away if the height-value is increased (here to 505px) or if the whole style
attribute is deleted and you just have a simple <div>.

The offending tag (see comment 3) has been replaced with <table width="555">.
