Curious server problem... I think

[bingoldsby]

A couple of days ago I found my index.html (

http://lostcreekvillage.org)

not showing up in Netscape. It was ok in IE. When I looked at the source as received at the browser (IE) I found a garbled line of html - something starting with "style" and setting margins. When I looked at the file on the server the line was fine. After re-ftp'ing the file a couple of times, I decided that the line was just not going to be served (or received by the browsers) intact and deleted it. The result had no effect on the overall page display so I've left it out. But it's causing me to loose some sleep anyway.

Has anyone had a similar difficulty?

Thanks, Brian

Hi mate,

Can you post the source code of the page?

The style tags are used for css attributes. (Link color etc)

It is most likely a syntax problem in the code and netscape will not read the page correctly.

IE allows for mistakes in the code but most of the time netscape will not show the rest of the page.

Hope this helps Wullie

Let me restate a bit of my original message. The html line is written properly, and is intact on the servers file. It gets garbled either in the serving by Apache or in the receiving by the browsers. Probably the former because it effects everyone's browser (everyone here on the lan) to some extent.

But here is the line. It's one of those things that FrontPage 2000 does over which there's been lots of grousing. I'm sure I'll hear some over this one.

<p style=&quot;margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0&quot;>&nbsp;</p>
