Why doesn't this page display properly in Netscape 7?

September 20, 2004 1:17 PM

HTML/CSS helpfilter: This page displays properly in Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari, but confounds Netscape 7.0. Why? [mi]

This CSS Style Sheet controls the layout and displays a header and three columns. Netscape 7.0 (Win) only displays the header. Heck, even NS 4.8 displays the page more or less correctly. Although any NS 7 users should probably upgrade to a newer browser, what in the HTML or CSS prevents the 3 columns from displaying in NS 7?

You seem to have an extra closing div near the end of your html and the ".mp3foot" class in in your stylesheet appears to be missing an ending curly-brace }

I don't know why either of those would cause the problem you describe, but it's worth a shot.

It would be a good idea to check your html and css with a validator. There seem to be a few errors.

the validator results for the page and the css. Best advice would be to check the errors in both.

Response by poster: Thanks all!

You don't do this html stuff for a while, you forget about useful tools like the validators...
