Anyone really good with html? I am having a problem getting a table to display properly in NS 4.78 but is fine in IE (go figure). I have been working with it for a couple hours and just can't figure it out. Maybe someone else can see something I am missing. If anyone could lend a hand let me know and I'll email you the zip file.

TIA,

Eric

No **** :) Wish I could. My blood pressure would be a lot lower if everyone used the same **** browser and email client.

actually, using netscape is good for HTML since it doesn't let you get away with anything unlike IE.

IE is forgiving and technically Netscape interperates html correctly.

However, it has terrible CSS handling, table row/cell images do not tile, where you position your form tags can really **** up your table layout, you have to have something inside of a cell with a background color to get the color to apear, you have to have some scrollable content in order for a table to actually stretch to 100% of the page. I can go on about this **** for hours.

If it isn't made by Microsoft, I don't have a problem with it.

I don't care who makes it. As long as it makes my job easier. Except if it was a French product, it would give up everytime it had a problem.

Every 30 days or so it would just bow down to some random pathetic little bug, allowing it free reign over the system, until such time that a [probably Anglo-American] patch was created.

And the product makers would still think they are better than the patch creators.

And they'd still be busy brown-nosing the creators of the bugs/viruses.
