Page (table) doesn't display in Netscape :(

I checked the page in both Netscape and IE and they looked the same.

Well, they are ALMOST the same

I'm using Netscape 4.5. Take a look at the monthly stats table:

The table for the stats of the first day of the month is cramped up.

But, most importantly, the days (1,2..30) do not align with the Days of the week It does align and is perfect in Explorer.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi,

Same problem with AOL 5.0 browser. Part of you problem is probably related to the size & number of characters you are putting in the cells. Try formatting them; that is, instead of putting 0 and 10.37%, make it consistent (0.00%, 10.37%)

Hope this helps

I ran your page through my validator ( www.htmlvalidator.com -- I use the Pro version) and there was only one error -- a <br> in the wrong spot (between <table> and <tr> -- it should be within the <td></td> tags or above or below the table).

Otherwise, there are a number of warning messages, because you have tags within your font tags, which doesn't break the browser, but isn't valid code.

As far as that nested table for that cell -- you have a different font size for that cell.

Nested tables and that heavy a page with HTML is only going to cause you problems, can't you simply those tables a tad?

They look fine here too -- Netscape 4.5 and IE 4.0.
Sometimes nested tables collapse - for that I use a 1 px blank gif - opens them right up.

Hi all!

Thanks for all your feedback. Sorry for the late reply.

I am using a new table inside a cell for all the days (1, 2...31). This is the easiest
method, because it will be hard incorporating it into the cgi script otherwise.

This is because I have to print the click thrus, sales and sales ratio for a particular
day before moving on to the next. Thats why I need to use the nested tables instead of
tads...

But, my main problem was in my source alright. I didn't add a proper width tag. So,
I've added a width=13% in all the main cells, containing the nested tables. This has
caused the cells to stick to their alloted space.

Heres the new url: http://arpith.com/affiliate1.html

I've checked it in Ie 5, Netscape 4.5 and it looks almost perfect. Can anyone check it with Aol please

The HTML validator also doesn't give too many serious errors. Just one duplicate border error, which I've corrected in the script.

But of course, at low resolution, it does get cramped up... but it doesn't seriously
impair the readability.

Thanks again everybody!

Hi,

Aol 5.0: looks ok, though the first five columns seem to be a tad to the left of the DOW columns.
That click through number in the first column still looks like it's a date. You might want to change the colors or size, so they are more easily differentiated.

Just check your tables in netscape first, get them right in netscape and they will render in ie.

Netscape isnt as forgiving as ie.

Hello,

Yea, I changed the date color so its a little more readable.

The Affiliate Management scripts have gone fine, a lot of cool features! My first major project too!

I know about Netscape. If you get it right in Netscape, you'll probably get it right in any other browser. But its much slower than ie...

Its also good for debugging cookie setting scripts. Netscape alerts you when a cookie header is sent. Does ie do something similar?
