okay, i give this one to the dedicated...serious netscape problem!!

[spewn]

okay, i have exhausted my eyes and mind trying to figure this one out.


!!!!TO HELP ME, YOU MUST HAVE NETSCAPE BROWSER AND SCREEN WIDTH AT 800. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!


i have a browser version and screen size parser script, and currently only the 800 width on. (ns & ie)


go to this site

http://www.one-degree.com/eyc/aboutus/disclaimer.html

see in the sub nav, the gray line that should just complete the box should end, but it doesn't. in fact, it spans across the space between sub nav and main text. i tried colspan=2, and it brings it a little more in, but still, in Explorer, it looks perfect, (see for yourself). plus, there is a nasty space between the top line and the 'about us' sub header. please help. it helps if you compare against explorer...

i know this is a big request, and is seriously time consuming, but i can't figure it out.

i'm beginning to loathe netscape, but i must cross browser this site.

experienced need only apply.

Are you sure about that link? I look at that page in NN 4.7 and IE 5.5 and except for the "Quick Jump" box all I see is a lot of badly foratted text.

dang, those are fightin' words... !!


badly formatted text? i run ie 5.0 and nscp 4.7 and it looks clean in ie, but nscp has the prob i referred to. your screen must be set to rez 800x600. other than that, you doggin' the past 200 hours of work?! (j/k)

would the site look diff. in 5.5? i would think that it would look the same...

i'm interested what 'badly formatted' means. is everything straight in ie, or??? you mean, no tables and the rollovers don't work? i appreciate constructive criticism to the fullest, and value the opinion.

:~/ Sorry, it's been so long since I used a resolution as low as 800x600 that I forgot there even were lower resolutions.

The page look very nice in IE5.5. However, in NN I can see what you mean about the line on the side menu. I looked at what I can see of your source (a lot is apparently in included js files) but nothing stood out. NN has a REAL problem with table formats. It also has a problem applying styles to tables cells (basically, it doesn't). These things may be causing your problem. Also check if you have any single tables cells with width="100%" on them - that's almost guaranteed to mess up your table in NN. And make sure you don't have any spaces or line breaks in that cell, that will confuse things too. It's hard to tell more than that with so much of your code being js-generated.

That being said, I've NEVER managed to get a page to look as good in NN as it does in IE. I finally decided decided to just do the best I can, and anyone who uses NN deserves what they get. Tracy Dryden

NS6 doesn't apply style sheets to tables? Tell me it isn't so. Not possible, msut be a way. Why would netscape release NS6 advertising that it is the most CSS compatible browser ever if they didn't work in tables.

But then again....

I've built a site at

http://www.halonet.com.au/beesworks/shop.asp?intsup=16&pn=brief&supname=beesworks&subcat=wlpc

which is totlaly dependant on style sheets for the shopping cart. Works fine in IE5.5, doesn't work at all in Netscape.

Is anyoen out there actually a Netscape6 style sheet expert? I simply can't believe there is no way to get csss style sheets to work with Netscapte tables.

Slow down! Breathe! I don't know how well NN 6 handles anything. From all the bad things I've heard about it, and my not-so-positive experiences with NN4.7, I haven't even bothered to upgrade my NN. It MAY do things better, but there's still a LOT of older versions of NN out there, and it was those I was referring to.

There are ways around SOME of the NN problems. You can use spans inside table cells to do some of the same things you do but applying a style sheet class to the cell itself, for instance.
