* Don't put stuff in a table without <tt><td></tt> tags around it (IE displays it, Moz might not).

* Be careful with your comments:
* Don't use <tt><!--</tt> and <tt>--></tt> in <tt><script></tt> tags without making sure they are matched. InternetExplorer won't care, but [Mozilla] will consider the rest of your page commented out.
- * The popular <tt><!----------></tt> style "separators" are dangerous. With an odd numbers of dashes, the comment does not close, so the rest of your page will be commented out. Best to avoid any more than single dashes altogether inside comments.

Best to avoid any more than single dashes altogether inside comments. (Actually, <! ... > is a __declaration__, and --...-- inside a declaration is a comment. So, putting -- inside it actually closes your comment, and another -- starts a new comment. So only use double dashes at the start and end of the comment!)

If you support [Mozilla], you're supporting Netscape 7 and up. These days it's realistic to drop support for any version of Netscape 4 or below.
