sorry about the offtopic stuff, but I figure this is all useful info anyway:

netscape won't let you set background-attachment:fixed, unfortunately. it's
not so visible once you're into the site. besides, i like making netscape
users aware that they're using an inferior browser while still allowing them
to view the site without too much broken shit :)

as for the offsets, it's just the frameset code that's wrong, here's an
example of what i use:

<frameset rows="100%,*" FRAMEBORDER="NO" BORDER="0" FRAMESPACING="0">
<frame name="splash" src="splash.html" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"
scrolling="No" frameborder="NO" noresize framespacing="0">
</frameset>

the important bit is the framespacing="0" in the frame reference

and then in the actual frames:
<body topmargin=0 leftmargin=0 bottommargin=0 rightmargin=0 marginheight=0
marginwidth=0>


incidentally, the frameset used above is a neat way to get stuff to align to
the very right and very bottom in netscape, otherwise it leaves a margin.
it's an "empty" frameset.
