since this affects calendar...nominating for rtm
Keywords: rtm
My impression of the severity of the problem: the page doesn't look good, but
it's not unusable.

My impression of the cause of the problem: we're not handling incremental reflow
(cause in this case by the images loading asynchronously) inside a 3-level
nested table where the outer tables have no width specified and the inner table
has %-width specified.  I think Chris has several bugs with a similar flavor.

Note to Eric and Lisa: Netcenter could work around this bug by adding width and
height information to the <IMG> tags on the page.  This would be a very good
idea for them to do anyway, because it makes loading on all browsers (that I
know of) much faster.
Summary: Wrong layout → Incremental layout of nested table wrong
chrisn, greggl -- Netcenter needs to modify markup to avoid triggering this issue.
please mark this rtm-  : per buster's assessment of the severity of this.

Gregg: are you responsible for this page?  I see it's Calendar Express so I'm
wondering this is maintained by IS.
No, I am not responsible for this page, will ask Netscape.com programming.
added "Netscape Calendar Express" to summary to help find duplicates.
