NetScape 6 browser mouse-over prob.

[afCindy]

In Netscape 6 my mouse_over buttons looks really odd when I hover over, they reaload really slow and show background every time. I do preload all images in the body tag and there are no issues in NS 4, 5 and 7 or EI Explorer all versions?

The answer: Netscape 6 sucks. I hate to say that because I am a huge fan of that family of browsers, but that release is generally regarded as cruddy.

I viewed your site with Mozilla 1.2.1 and it worked perfectly. Mozilla 1.2.1 is a cousin of Netscape 6 that is much quicker and more advanced, stable, etc.

Hey Petey

Thanks for your reply
Yeah that really is crummy...the wicked thing is I've used the exact mouse over script in another page and it works just dandy...?!

Anyhow i guess it is just too bad then....crummy model T browser.. ; )

How are you creating your images? Are you letting Fireworks or ImageReady cut them up for you?

You may be saving background to your images.

I know that 'should' show everywhere, but sometimes it doesn't.

Hi..

Yes I let fireworks "Cut" my images, but ultimately I create other "slimmer" (two image) mouse overs in Dreamweaver. Finally I use the up image as the background in the table cell, that seems to enhance it a bit. But its wacky that there is such a disparity in the handling of simple javascript in NS 6?!

Thanks for all your replies...You saved me from going nuts ; )
