Has anyone seen any problem with Netscape compatibility on some of the theme packs that are out there? For example, I am testing with a theme that renders great on IE, but in Netscape all the tables are collapsing, and the background images sometimes don't show up properly. In general, lots of buggy rendering.
In fact, on nukecops.com, the Donations Block is rendered strangely with lots of bogus shapes above the paypal button...
Any ideas? Is there a transparent pixel trick or something that can make NS render properly?
Thanks! |

netscape - in all their worldly wisdom - don't support DHTML XHTML or most of JavaScript (figures being that they're the ones who adopted it from Java). There are different code strings for that sort of stuff. DHTML and XHTML just won't work. Some SHTML won't work with netscape either.

Use this format when using tables in Netscape... It comes in real handy when trying to fit forms into tight spaces...
Try it, I think you'll like it.
| Code: |
<table><tbody><form><tr><td>
</td></tr></form></tbody></table> |
I included a form tag so you'd know where to place to get the best fit.
Also, with images, set your hspace and vspace attributes... Also adjust your alignment... ALWAYS Always always start adjustments inside your table data and work your way out. At least until you get a golden feel for raw HTML... |

that'd be usefull if u use Browser-recognition code in the modules / blocks ur writing.
It's a really bad idea to write that kind of code when most browsers don't need it - some will even stop working with it.
It's worth keeping in mind if u're developing Netscape-specific stuff though.

huh??? I've only tested it with Opera, Netscape, Mozilla, IE and Lynx. If you know of any browsers that would crash using standard html compliant code, please tell. I don't wanna wreck anybodys computer. |

the browser itself won't crash. Some pages will stop loading when u use the <tbody> tag though. (I dunno if Konqueror will support it, and till I've got my server 100% again and I have time to play with linux more, I can't say if it does either).
Most of the latest browsers will support it (anything later than IE 4.1 onwards) cause of the HTML 4.1 complience, but anything earlier might struggle big time.
Some people (stupid as it sounds) do still use the old browsers, and as a programmer, I like to keep them in mind too

Ok, you win... I'll bow to the backwards compatibility test...  
I've got a linux box in my office... I'll test the Konqueror run in the morning... But's its the latest K, so I'm beat there too.
