Problems with site using Netscape

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 22.2004

Hi. I’m new to the forums. I think this should go under several different forums because I think I’m having several related, but possibly unrelated problems. I’ll try it here first.

I’m well aware that this might be something where IE guesses what I want correctly, but Netscape is actually showing it correctly, which means I have a bug.

Here’s the link: [url]www.geocities.com/troublemakerextraordinaire/index3.html[/url]

I am creating a site using tables for formatting. I’m using the “border-collapse: collapse” property to have table cells “share” the table borders since it is an irregular configuration. Netscape 7.1 omits some of the borders, but IE will show them all.

I am also not sure that my javascript is running correctly because the shown borders should have their color changed to white during the mouseover event, but they don’t change like I expect them to.

Please help. Thanks.

Daniel.

@WebfreakJun 22.2004 — Welcome to the forums ?!

On that site I think you have more problems. First I think that it will be good if you will change the host!

Than I have checked your page with Firefox 0.9 and belive me that there are lots of weird things going on. The design is all over the place (the main part is ok but I think that the context is all over the place).

The Javascript has some errors (firefox sad that?). Than you shouldnt use tables for layout!!!

Than your CSS style sheet and HTML code has also some errors. Maybe fixing them will help you to remove your problems.

Try to fix this problems and the problems will "maybe" disapear ?

@kineticsocalauthorJun 22.2004 — Yeah, I'm working on the hosting issue. I'm running a server out of my room, but my dsl connection is iffy, so I wanted to put it on a site where people could actually see it.

Javascript: I don't think the javascript should affect the way it looks in Netscape. It should only bother the dynamic portions. I can deal with those errors later.

CSS: The errors all have to do with the scrollbar attributes that Netscape doesn't support, but IE does. I have used them before and usually, Netscape just ignores them, but they haven't caused my pages to render differently before. I will try and just change them to "overflow: hidden" and see if that helps.

HTML: The errors found in the validator are pretty negligible. I've run it both with and without the "type" variable in the <style> and <script> tags with the same results in Netscape. The rest of the errors come from that stupid auto-generated Geocities banner.

I think it's something else.

@kineticsocalauthorJun 22.2004 — Attached is the "corrected" file. I can't check it on Netscape right now, but I'm pretty sure it still doesn't look like it does in IE.

@kineticsocalauthorJun 22.2004 — After a couple hours of playing with my CSS, I found via web that Netscape doesn't support "position: relative" in table cells while IE and Opera do. I have changed it to "position: static" and the content now appears correctly. The javascript is still whack. ?

Success!
