Trys to get me to download something in Netscape4.7 then wont display

in IE it displays, but is very plain, you really like your sports dont you Smiling (I think its hockey) You need some color, especially to seperate the columns of text.

This may be a silly question (but I'm known for these Laughing out loud) are the Miami dolphins based in Miami? If so maybe use images of the area or rink (or whatever the place the games played in is called), dont over power the page with the images, just blend them together.

looking at your source code, you dont have a or tags, this will probably be the cause for it not loading in Netscape. you also have your table set at 800 wide, if you set it at 100% it wont have a scroll bar at 800x600, if you want a fixed width and no scroll bars at 800x600 you need to set your table at about 760 with default body margins as different browsers have different body margins.

hey. this is be kind to Netscape users month! Smiling

Seriously, go back to the NY Rangers thread. I pointed out some issues that have not been addressed in any of your subsequent submissions. Busy caught another huge problem that I am ashamed of missing if it too exists in your earlier sites.

Netscape is very rigid and unforgiving when it comes to coding errors. You really need to sit down and look at some of the basics of HTML coding.

This is the third site you've posted recently and you don't seem to be heeding advice that's already been given to you, such as not using bitmaps for your graphics. Sad

Here are a couple validators that can help you find the errors in your code:

Oh, and Busy, the Dolphins play football and the Suns play basketball, not hockey. Laughing out loud

Those darn Suns are the only team that's beaten my Lakers so far this season. Sad

I agree with TheGizmoid. Look at what people are telling you and make the changes. You keep on making these site that are the same except for the graphic at the top and different background and text colors. If you got one site fixed really nice then it would be easier to make the other sites after that instead of having to change sites that are already made!

And... At the top it says

Three sites that all look the same and have the same errors. If you are serious about wanting help with making them better I suggest that you take note of what's been said, apply it to at least one site and then once you've fixed all the sites you have post again when they are updated and we can see the progress you have made.

Please help us out by reviewing some of the others sites posted here in the critique section.
