Is Mozilla based on the same code as Netscape? They look identical 😕
 
Dreamweaver is good. Get rid of mouseovers, if you have Adobe ImageReady you can make rollovers without too much trouble and every browser will support them, unlike Nutscrape + webbots. For a website like that you're not going to need anything but HTML, maybe change them to .asp so you can use includes, or .shtml (for the same thing) if your server supports SSI. The only REALLY annoying thing I found was the 800x600 resolution cap. Want over 6.5? Make it resizable 😀

Okay, I'll work something out. 🙂 Even a 7 would be better than 6.5.

How do I replace my webbot includes - I need some type of example. But the server I have to host this on is an old Cobalt server... I don't know if it supports ASP or SSI.
 
I'm running IE 6.0

Screw Netscape... just make sure it runs OK in Mozilla 1.0 😉

Edit: just loaded it again and I waited over a minute and textbox full version
hadn't loaded yet

Also fonts to the right of text box overlap making it very difficult to read the word 'lure'
It's been a couple of minutes now and text hasn't fully loaded yet
 
Netscape 6 is based on Mozilla. Netscape 4.x has VERY poor CSS support. NS6/Mozilla have much better, if not perfect, CSS support.

Could you provide me a screenshot please? (if possible)

Jesus, this took you months? I could have it done in about 10 minutes.

I did not work on it non-stop for months, I started it months ago and just now got around to finishing it. It only took me a week working a few hours a night to build most of it. Since I have a full time job and a wife to tend to it wasn't on my geek priority list.

And no it would not have taken 10 minutes because every picture, every graphic, I made myself.
 
you didn't have to use anything that NS didn't support. Netscape is jsut more picky about the way things are done, even with stuff that it does support. See my thread "woohoo! my page works in netscape now!".
 
I ran my style sheet throug a CSS checker, and it pointed a few things out for me. Although the way I was using the background-color was supported, the global background was more standard than background-color. So I changed that... also there was a suggestion to set the background-image to none when using background-color. So I did that.

Also, the custom scroll bar may have been the major culprit - not standard in CSS apparently, only IE seems to be compatible with it.

I went through my tables again and found that there was a discrepency in the table style, last time i set them to zero it added a border-collapse. 😕

I got rid of the textbox/javascript on the front page. Looks fine in IE6, Opera, and Mozilla so far (but it seemed to render fine before too). Downloading NS now to test.

Here's what it looks like for me. See how the box is overlapped?

Running Mozilla on Debian 3.0.

The font doesn't look like it's coming up as Verdana, at least not any variant of Verdana I've ever seen. That's the culprit on your browser. A few other people said it happened on their's too. I got rid of the box - try it now.
 
I have had problems with Front Page producing code that didn't work right in Netscape as well...I suggest not using anything unique to Front Page. Microsoft doesn't seem to care how their pages look in other browsers.
