Post by thread:[OT]: Help with site

I am experiencing a problem that the graphics on my web site http://www.orbitcoms.com are not being displayed for those using Netscape browsers, Does anyone know what the problem may be ? I am not using any dynamic HTML, but do use the absolute positioning and text wrap in Frontpage.

Now I see another thing having to do where it puts the text and pictures. When I resize the window it rearranges things, and not necessarily in a good way. You may want to try this after you straighten out the image thing. Barry -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.

I'm using Netscape Navigator with Windows 3.11, and don't appear to be having any problems Jim Barry Gershenfeld wrote: > >I am experiencing a problem that the graphics on my web site > >http://www.orbitcoms.com are not being displayed for those using Netscape > >browsers, -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.

Thanks for your input guys. I have had a play with http://www.orbitcoms.com last night. I tried it with the latest Netscape 6 and it seems to work ok except on the home page the bullet marks do not appear on the bullet list and the spacing between them is doubled. I do not understand why this would occur as the HTML code is standard. Regards David Huisman -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.

Yes, there IS a standard, but not all browsers adhere to it. Example, IE doesn't mind if you don't close out your table tags (td, tr, etc), yet Netscape will scream if you don't. That's the art of HTML, you have to make it so it renders about the same in the major browsers. Regards, Tim H. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.

I'm using Netscape 4.7 and the bullets are there and single spaced!

Tim, So.. looking at the HTML source on the site, can you see why the bulleted list would not operate correctly ? Regards David Huisman -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways. See http://www.piclist.com/#archives for details.

But in my experience most browsers, upon encountering an error, don't say anything! They just play dumb -- they try to display something approximate or leave out the things they don't understand. Or they make assumptions about missing tags, and thus make you think your page is error-free, when it isn't. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.

Ditto. I also tried with IE and they all looked neat. If these bullets look shot (hehe) on the OP's computer then I'd have to ask what resolution he's at; maybe that plays a role.
