Hello everyone again

My wife is an avid webpage designer and graghic designer in the making and is in need of a liitle help.

We have just recently been told that our family website is not viewable in netscape and am not y that is?

We are thinking it is due to some coding she missed and it is not viewable in all browser types.

But not sure

If anyone may be able to help it would be greatly appreciated. :D 8)

Thx alot

this is the link to the site for use in checking out the source code ( she writes all her own code and doesn't use templates)

Which version(s) of netscape? All versions, or just NS4? If it's only NS4, don't worry about it. I'm not sure of the exact timeline, but NS4's gotta be like a decade old by now, heh.

You can't really hope to create a good popular website that's compatible with everything out there. If you're wanting to do that, you might as well go text-only, then you're not persecuting the Lynx users :)

I hope you don't mind, but I've moved your thread to the proper category.

no problem at all on the category.


I've looked at the page in the current versions of IE and NS, and also in NS 4.08 (an historic browser)...they all display fine.

oh and he says his version is 6.1
if that makes a diff

I don't see anything in the source that would cause problems.

:?

I don't have a copy of NS 6, but I would verify his results before changing anything.

I just viewed it in Netscape 6.2 and it appears to look very close to IE 6. I remember NS 6.1 was a little buggy which is why I upgraded to NS 6.2 when it came out.

There is a problem with the code that could be causing your friends' problems. In the head area your wife has this:

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]
<html>
<head>
<title>The Biron's Place</title>
</head>
  1. <html>
  2. <head>
  3. <title>The Biron's Place</title>
  4. </head>


That is followed by a javascript and a style sheet and then the Body tag and remainder of the document. The whole thing should be like this:

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]
<html>
<head>
<title>The Biron's Place</title>

<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function click() {
if (event.button==2) {
alert('Graphics property of Spydrs Webs. All rights reserved.');
}
}
document.onmousedown=click
// -->
</script>

<STYLE type="text/css">
<!--
BODY {
scrollbar-face-color:#8CBCBB;
scrollbar-highlight-color:#FFFFFF;
scrollbar-3dlight-color:#8CBCBB;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color:#000000;
scrollbar-shadow-color:#326966;
scrollbar-arrow-color:#326966;
scrollbar-track-color:#8CBCBB;
}
-->
</STYLE>
</head>
<body background="ltgrtile.jpg" ondragstart="returnfalse" onselectstart="returnfalse">
  1. <html>
  2. <head>
  3. <title>The Biron's Place</title>
  5. <script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
  6. function click() {
  7. if (event.button==2) {
  8. alert('Graphics property of Spydrs Webs. All rights reserved.');
  9. }
  10. }
  11. document.onmousedown=click
  12. // -->
  13. </script>
  15. <STYLE type="text/css">
  16. <!--
  17. BODY {
  18. scrollbar-face-color:#8CBCBB;
  19. scrollbar-highlight-color:#FFFFFF;
  20. scrollbar-3dlight-color:#8CBCBB;
  21. scrollbar-darkshadow-color:#000000;
  22. scrollbar-shadow-color:#326966;
  23. scrollbar-arrow-color:#326966;
  24. scrollbar-track-color:#8CBCBB;
  25. }
  26. -->
  27. </STYLE>
  28. </head>
  29. <body background="ltgrtile.jpg" ondragstart="returnfalse" onselectstart="returnfalse">



See the difference in the location of the ending head tag?

That may or may not be the problem, but it could be. In any event, I'd recommend to your friends to either upgrade to NS7.1 or have them check into the new Firefox .80 browser here:

P.S. Tell your wife she did a nice job with the page.

*lol -- while you're at it, tell her to sign up her own handle here too. If she likes designing web pages, she might as well hang with the crowd!
