Trouble with Netscape 4.x - borders & images

[benpollinger]

Hello all,

My first post to this site so forgive me if it's not appropriate.

I am developing a fairly simple site in XHTML/CSS, learning as I go from w3schools.com, and using Tidy (and W3C validators) to make sure I'm not doing anything too daft. The site is:

http://www.psyclick.org.uk

I'm using a table to layout menu and body. All is fine in IE5 and up, Mozilla 1.0 and even Lynx. I have started to make the site usable in Netscape 4.x, but not having much fun with this. My main problems are:

1) Logo graphic covers up menu items in <td class=&quot;menu&quot;> (they're visible behind the logo, but not usable)

2) Border around <td class=&quot;menu&quot;> is not shown, but same CSS statement works fine in <h1> (border: 2px #000099 solid)

Does anyone have any suggestions?

regards,
Ben

Hi,

Looks fine in IE 5.5 and Netscape 6.2

I'm not sure what 4.x is in your post, but 4.7 was full of bugs especially with handling tables. I wouldn't worry about trying to satisfy a version as old as 4.7 the visitor percentage using a version that old is probably minimal.

Good Luck

Hi Blizz,

thanks for your quick reply! and thanks for checking in those older browers - i knew IE5.5 was OK, but had not tried Netscape 6.

Netscape 4.x actually meant 4.08 - I have not tried 4.7 yet. I want to do as much as I can for buggy Netscapes because many of my users will be in UK health services, which are not know for well-administered systems with updated browsers.

Any ideas on the image overlapping the menu text?That really breaks the site, whereas most other things are cosmetic.

cheers,
Ben
