Netscape doesn't show my web site - help!
I have a site at http://www.BusinessMom.com and it doesn't show up in Netscape unless you press RELOAD button. It happens most of the time, but not always, sometimes the first page loads ok right away, but the other pages don't.
I have never seen this problem before... Have checked with NetMechanic.com and it comes with 0 errors.
Please, help!
Warmly,
Milana.

It shows up fine in IE6.0.
Doesn't show in NS 4.79. All I see is a purple background.
Opera, it shows but I think it was thinking about not showing it. LOL
Looking at the validation, it says the following:
Error: invalid formal public identifier "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"
Change your doctype to the following and see if that helps.

The doctype must be in all caps. It is only the other tags that should be in lowercase.

The reason is more likely this bit of code:
<script src='left_nav.js'></script> Netscape can't really determine what kind of script. You need to tell it:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src='left_nav.js'>
It could also be a Windows only version of JS.

Thank you so much for all of your replies.
Here is what I did and I think it now works.
I removed this code from the footer.js:
style="color:yellow"
Specifying the type never seemed to be necessary in my previous designs, that is why I never even bothered to check that part. Out of curiousity, I will, though - thanks Mark
