I hate Netscape

I think the quote marks are not mandatory. You can give a width=100% or width=250 without quotes. Not sure. My HTML was always hazy and vague. Nish Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain

Yes, this was an ever-so-subtle pat on the back for Netscape and a slap on the face for Microsoft. :) Jon Sagara "Ninety percent of baseball is mental, the other half is physical." -- Yogi Bera

I have spent the past 20 minutes trying to figure out why my table that stretches all the way across the page in IE, doesn't in Netscape. I tried everything - I tweaked my CSS, I tweaked the width parameters in the <TD>s, and everything else in between. I was about to say "FiretrUCK Netscape!!!" when I noticed that I had forgotten to put one quotation mark on the width statement of the parent table. I hate that Netscape makes me write HTML correctly. ;P FiretrUCK me. Jon Sagara "We assume you already know not to consider something like Windows as a firewall platform.

Netscape is the devil. Microsoft may be profiteering scum bags but they don't release cess pool applications like Netscape 4.x. I would not mind so much if Netscape 4.x was consistently buggy. But oh no, it decides when and how to do it's thing, and in it's own time. Jon Sagara wrote: I hate that Netscape makes me write HTML correctly.

To be fair you should not even have to type such things, but the HTML editors are just so bad... :( Let me guess - are you using notepad for HTML stuff just like me? ;)

As a fellow HomeSite afficianado, I thought I would point out a couple of useful tidbits. One is that there are some VTOM scripts available to parse your HTML and quote all the attributes for you. I am not thrilled with these, because they are too stupid, you would have ended up with that width attribute quoted, but with two quotes on one side. Even better, though more expensive, is CSE HTML Validator. I LOVE this thing. It integrates with HomeSite, takes the place of the internal HomeSite validator for whole document validation. Give it a try, catches all kinds of things. I use it on most everything I do. It even has a spelling checker now. :) http://www.htmlvalidator.com Jason Jystad Cito Technologies www.citotech.net Sonork ID 100.9918 >-------------------------------------------------< Every program has at least one bug and can be shortened by at least one instruction -- from which, by induction, one can deduce that every program can be reduced to one instruction that doesn't work. >-------------------------------------------------<

But unfortuanatley it is still slower and buggier. A huge improvement over 4.x but still not good enough to make me switch to it over IE or Opera. Oh well, this is one arena where I don't mind there being a dominant player. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa Do you Sonork?

I totally agree, but there is always some tool out there using Netscape who complains that the page looks crappy in his browser. Bad business to tell my customers, "Don't use Netscape, ya jack@$$!"

Nope, I think Michael Martin coined that one. A few months ago, there was a raging debate (actually more of a whimper) about not being able to use the word F*CK in any of the forums, so several members came up with creative ways to get around the filters. :) Jon Sagara "Ninety percent of baseball is mental, the other half is physical." -- Yogi Bera

I'm surprised nobody has tried using the colloquial spelling - "phuque" - I know, it looks kinda foo-foo, but it works. I wonder if fuque or phuck works... "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001
