Site not working in netscape...

[SkuZZy]

I just found out that my site messes up in netscape browser, specifically the header images. Can anyone take a look at my page source (http://www.battleforums.com) and tell me what the correct code would be to use for my header images that would make them look good in netscape as well? I've tried alot of stuff, including netmechanic but I don't know... help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
scsi

dreaded NN4 problem.

Look for the following code:

<tr>
<td background="http://www.battleforums.com/images/img/battle/side2-bg.jpg" height="112" width="460"><img src="http://www.battleforums.com/images/img/battle/top5.jpg" width="460" height="112"></td>
<td background="http://www.battleforums.com/images/img/battle/side2-bg.jpg" height="112">&amp;nbsp;</td>
</tr>

You need to insert an <img> tag instead of the &amp;nbsp; in the second cell, just like you did in the previouse cell (top5.jpg). Reason it doesn't render properly in NN4 is because NN4 doesn't always handle "background=" attribute in <td> tags.

Hope that helps :)

THE SHOCK! :D

Another technique is to embed a table within the table and give it the background image, but then Netscape gets confused at the multiple tables. :rolleyes:

NS4 is only 3% of the browser share out there I believe now, I don't even bother testing my pages in it anymore, just IE and Mozilla.

Would you mind testing my site in mozilla for me? And if someone else could test it in opera, i'd appreciate it. Thanks for the tips as well, i'll give them a shot.

I figured it out. The problem was, I needed to add a width="100%" to the <td> with the &nbsp; in it. It looks great in netscape now (although vbulletin still looks a little funky). Sooo... anyone want to test the header for me in mozilla and opera?

:D
