Steve,
hi
i've had a quick look at your code and which revealed a missing
</td></tr> which will upset netscape... if you add the </td></tr>
that may help netscape read the file better
in your code the place the </td></tr> should be is between lines 323 & 325
& yes there are heaps of tables there (*eek*) and without spending
hours i'm not sure how you could speed it up in netscape, as the
layout doesn't really allow the tables to be split.... (easily)
¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬
: The blue boxes in the design don't seem to cause any problems for Netscape -
: we use that layout on many pages without any problem. It's the calendar code
: that seems to really cause problems.
¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬
imo it would be better to use the css to control the colours of your
tds (of anything infact) - the <b> tag is now deprecated - you should
use <strong> &/or css
i'm not totally sure why you have bits of code like this:
<td background="/img/pix_trans.gif"><img src="/img/pix_trans.gif" width="1" height="5"></td>
imho the following would be sufficient:
<td><img src="/img/pix_trans.gif" width="1" height="5"></td>
'again' imho it is good practice to put double quotes around all
attributes
alignments (should) easier said than done i know - should be
controled by the css - i noticed <td align="center"> - this would be
easier to handle through the css
bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#666666" leftmargin=0 link="#31528F"
vlink="#31528F" alink="#31528F" - again would be better controled by
the css
<td height=19 background="/img/interface/standard/layers/tbl_bg_left_top.gif"><img src="/img/pix_trans.gif" width=1 height=19></td>
would be better:
<td background="/img/interface/standard/layers/tbl_bg_left_top.gif"><img src="/img/pix_trans.gif" width=1 height=19></td>
(as the height is determined by the second img)
the above things would make less code, and would be much easier for
you to maintain
btw i really liked the design - very nice
hope i have helped ;o) - & not been a pain in the £$%^%
