Hey all,

I just redid my site http://dhoss.perlmonk.org/ethereal
using CSS and divs, and everything looks good for the most part in Internet Explorer, but when I view it in Netscape, the divs are cluttered until I resize the window. Now, being the inexperienced CSS coder that I am, I am clueless as to why this would be. If you need a style sheet or what now, please let me know.

-hoss

They both look the same to me in both Ie6 and Firebird 0.7.

Really? Hmmmm, did you try opening the page, then resizing it? I found problems when I did that...

Well, when I resize the window, everything pretty much comes together, since there's so limited space, is it not supposed to do that?

Ehhh.....I would like it to "get it right", so to say, so that the window doesn't have to be resized for it to fit and what not, do you know what I mean?

Add a Javascript called NS Resize Fix.

Could you elaborate please? What will I need in this javascript, or is it something I download?

I could be wrong here, but I think you might want to put your entire site into one table with a fixed width. That way it prevents tables inside from stretching across the screen.

Tables aren't reccommended by the W3C...it's standard to use Divs/css to position everything on your site because you can put it exactly where you want it.

What are you talking about?. Tables aren't recommended?. 99% of websites have tables in their website!. You can control your tables if you use fix positions, not percentages.

RMF

Right, but if you read any W3C HTML doc it will say use divs over tables. It's much faster, and much more reliable.

I don't think you quite understand. Use div tags to align (left, right, center) your table.

Uh...may bad. I got it and thanks, sorry about the mix up.

Add the following Javascript to the header. I think this should work. I got this from Dreamweaver, they have an NS4 Resize fix. Keep for future if you have this problem again.

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_reloadPage(init) { //reloads the window if Nav4 resized
if (init==true) with (navigator) {if ((appName=="Netscape")&&(parseInt(appVersion)==4)) {
document.MM_pgW=innerWidth; document.MM_pgH=innerHeight; onresize=MM_reloadPage; }}
else if (innerWidth!=document.MM_pgW || innerHeight!=document.MM_pgH) location.reload();
}
//-->
</script>

Sorry I took so long to answer....just to answer your question above, there are few NS4 fixes around the internet.

CSS with no tables is the way to go.... Very sweet.
