I'd say probably don't worry about it, unless you have a lot of Netscape 6
users hitting your site. Sure, fix it if you can, but don't lose sleep over
it. Netscape 6 is buggy to say the least, so with any luck most NS6 users
are using NS7 by now, although I wouldn't want to place a bet on that! if
the content is accessible, it'll be OK.

Hmm... as I don't have NS6 installed anywhere, I can't really help.
Personally, I wouldn't worry about it too much, since Netscape 6 is a dead
browser.
This is the approach I take to all older major versions of minority browsers -
the thinking being that since the user has already decided to use something
other than a mainstream browser, with any luck they'll have also decided to
stay up to date with it, at least to the current major version number. (For
example, I don't worry about Opera lower than version 7.)
But, I'm sure I could be wrong and feel the wrath of the occasional NS6
user! :-)
Anyone know what major/minor version of Netscape the AOL browser is based on?
I think it's 7.x, but I'm not at all certain?
