Not enabling javascript in Netscape 4.7 also turns off style sheets. Are there any known work-arounds??

No, the style sheet implementation of NN4 uses JavaScript even if the 
style sheet type is 
  text/css
and not
  text/javascript
and Netscape missed decoupling the user selection of running JavaScript 
in his pages and running JavaScript to implement styles. Whether that 
is because the style sheet implementation depends so heavily on 
JavaScript or they just failed to provide clear browser preferences I 
can't tell but currently there is no way know to disable JavaScript in 
NN4 but get style sheets interpreted.
