My layout

This layout is for a site that I'm working on. It looks good in IE I think, but in netscape (4.7) it's all whacked out and only has the black menu bar. Can someone check it out in NS 6.x?

Does anyone know how I can fix this? I'm decent at HTML, but I just can't figure out why it's doing this. :(

BTW, once the site launches I'll give you guys the link to the real site with real links and stuff...right now it's staying very quiet. :)

isekii, does it look the same in Netscape 6 as it does in IE?

Thanks guys!

It's really, really, screwed up in NS 4.7.

BTW, it won't be hosted in tripod for long, don't worry. ;)

Check your nested table code very carefully! I can see quite a few errors in there, like missing closing td or tr tags. Netscape 4 will punish every little omission you made!

Example:

......

<tr>
<td width=&quot;100%&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot;>
<table width =&quot;100%&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; margin=&quot;0&quot;>
<tr><td align=&quot;left&quot;><img src=&quot;logofiller.gif&quot;></td><td align=&quot;right&quot; valign=&quot;bottom&quot;>
<img src=&quot;bannerfiller.gif&quot;></td></tr>
</table>
</td>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--> missing </tr> here
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<tr>

......

<tr>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--> missing <td> here
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<table width=&quot;100%&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; bgcolor=000000>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--> missing <tr> here
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<td width = &quot;100%&quot; bgcolor=&quot;000000&quot; ><div class=&quot;menubar&quot;>
<center><a href=&quot;index.html&quot; class=&quot;topmenu&quot;>home</a> &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;::&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
<a href=&quot;something.html&quot; class=&quot;topmenu&quot;>something</a> &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;::&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
<a href=&quot;forums.html&quot; class=&quot;topmenu&quot;>forums</a> &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;::&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
<a href=&quot;something.html&quot; class=&quot;topmenu&quot;>something</a> &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;::&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
<a href=&quot;something.html&quot; class=&quot;topmenu&quot;>something</a> &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;::&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
<a href=&quot;something.html&quot; class=&quot;topmenu&quot;>something</a>&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;::&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
<a href=&quot;search.html&quot; class=&quot;topmenu&quot;>search</a></div>
</center>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--> the </center> should be before </div> to match the order of opening tags
--> missing </td> here
--> missing </tr> here
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</table>
</td>
</tr>

......

Those are just some examples there are many others. No big deal in IE as IE try to play &quot;smart&quot; but for Netscape you have to match each <td> with </td> and <tr> with </tr>, otherwise the page will come out screwed up.

Thanks guys. Yeah, this is my first site, so it's not bad for someone who learned HTML (and CSS) while making the actual site. :)

Thanks for all your help...I guess I'll have to go through the site with a finetoothed comb- heh. If you guys fix all the code...sh!t, that would be unbelieveable. :) Hehe.

Yeah actually I always keep a copy of Netscape installed, nice tool to spot those little erroes in HTML.

<< Netscape is dead don't bother, test it in Mozilla instead. >>

Heh, it's not dead yet actually. It sure sucks, but it's not dead. :p

The very top tables (logofiller and bannerfiller) is kinda messed up and there's no color gradient (with very short different colored tables) by the black menu bar in mozilla.

I'll be working on this all night. :p
