Thanks a lot for the reply.

I tried both of your two suggestions and alas, neither one really
helped the appearance of one of the pages I've been having trouble
with, so I guess that I'm just out of luck on that.  I'm almost
totally ignorance about modern HTML, so I have to assume that
you're correct, and that there is some sort of JavaScript and/or
dynamic page generation going on.

Sigh.  I long for the days of HTML 3.2, when life was simple.
