 Netscape re-size bug 

In Navigator 4.0, JavaScript positioned content loses shaped when the window is resized.

This is the JavaScript to fix the Netscape resize problem. Just cut and paste into your favorite editor, and save as resize.js

/**
 * resize.js 0.3 970811
 * by gary smith
 * js component for "reloading page onResize"
 */

if(!window.saveInnerWidth) {
  window.onresize = resizeIt;
  window.saveInnerWidth = window.innerWidth;
  window.saveInnerHeight = window.innerHeight;
}

function resizeIt() {
    if (saveInnerWidth < window.innerWidth || 
        saveInnerWidth > window.innerWidth || 
        saveInnerHeight > window.innerHeight || 
        saveInnerHeight < window.innerHeight ) 
    {
        window.history.go(0);
    }
}

Then, include the following line in your document:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2" SRC="resize.js" TYPE="text/javascript">
</SCRIPT>

From Netscape's DHTML Technotes.
