I can't seem to figure this out. My webpage ( works fine in IE, but not in Netscape. Is there a patch or update for Netscape or is there something I should set in Dreamweaver for the pages to load correctly in Netscape? Any Help in this would be appreciated.
Thanks-
Jeff
 
Can't view the source code on your page and I'm not running netscape as a defalt, but the usual reason for netscape not working is layers.. and cell widths.
the layers problem is to do with the way netscape and IE count the distances- going to the www3 webpage might help

and the tables issue is because the browser reads from left to right- so you have to specify the cells to the right in pixels . Sometimes, when my code just won't behave, I take it outside and make it listen to britney spears music, and when it comes back it's really well behaved. I wonder if it's suffering from post tramatic stress syndrome now..
 
Patch for Netscape? yeah, mozilla.org

You can either get rid of the non-NS capable elements in your page or create a separate NS-capable page. On load, have a javascript check the version of browser and redirect to the right page. see javascriptmadeeasy.com
