If you have access to a linux/unix system, you can try links or lynx.

No, you should not do that. Because this approach is aimed to failure:
you can't know all the variations of web browsers and how they'll
handle your page.

You should stick to standard HTML and CSS and then use the known
tricks to make it work in IE6.

You'd better use CSS element positioning instead of table.

Generally speaking, we would prefer that the demexp web server stick
to web standards and recommended good practices.

Of course, *you* are coding so you have the last word. ;-)
