Hi this is the url : <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.removalboxes.org">http://www.removalboxes.org</a><!-- m --><br />
This is the problem, its all breaking up!<br />
<br />
The site is a big image map of sliced pictures put together in Adobe image ready and then attended to further in Dreamweaver. I have spent a lot of time getting it to sit just right in IE only to find ou that some of the table borders break apart in Netscape. Gah! how dumb am I its like the golden rule to check in Netscape aswell! Ah well its done now and its starting business soon so if anyone could help me it really would be much obliged.<br />
<br />
Is this to do with the border around netscape? <br />
If so how can I fix this site wide?<br />
I would really like some good advice so that I never hav this happening to me again because its a bit of a mad rush to get it fixed as fast as I can.<br />
<br />
Also any other critique that you wish to fire my way please do I'm always wanting to improve.<br />
<br />
Thank you! <br />

<br />
but I digress...<br />
<br />
you need to attack the process that produced your current problem. The process is:<br />
<br />
You designed and tested for IE. <br />
<br />
You may remedy this by: <br />
<br />
Designing and testing for IE and Netscape at the same time. <br />
<br />

Honestly, I'm not going through dreamweavers bloated code to try to make it work for Netscape. If you want to go back to the drawing board and start redesigning the page for both browsers, I'll help out. If you want to make a BMW out of a piper cub, be my guest.<!--content-->Yeah the boxes are all the same because the sites not officially online yet for business thier just there to show relational size untill the pro photographer supplies me with the pics.<br />
<br />
But what are the actual problems?<br />
Since I don't have much time as this site is for a client.<!--content-->Here is a [list of errors (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kingscroftlogistics.co.uk%2Fmain.html&charset=iso-8859-1+%28Western+Europe%29&doctype=HTML+4.01+Transitional&ss=1&outline=1&sp=1">http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http% ... ine=1&sp=1</a><!-- m -->)].<br />
<br />
"Quote" all attributes, add alt attributes to <img> tags, check all align values, and change <p2> to whatever it is really meant to be.<!--content-->Yeah I ended up just going back and starting it again to make it netscape freindly. It Wasn't that hard really as I had spent a lot of time making the layout very versatile for future updates, one day's hardcore work. But I have learned a valuable experience from this one that I've been told from the word go, Design with both IE and Netscape in mind. <br />
The main problem I had is that Netscape is not so forgiving as IE on broken cells being too eratic within a single row. So remedy this I just broke the image up further into more a simpler alignment of straight Rows.<br />
It took quite a bit of fidling with Nescape to figure that why it was not breaking up the cells in the same way and now thta I know I'm sure to benefit in the future. <br />
Look at it now <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.removalboxes.org">http://www.removalboxes.org</a><!-- m --> The code and some of the slice addresses are still being updated but it all works and looks nice. :)<!--content-->There are more errors (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kingscroftlogistics.co.uk%2Fmain.html&charset=iso-8859-1+%28Western+Europe%29&doctype=HTML+4.01+Transitional&ss=1&outline=1&sp=1">http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http% ... ine=1&sp=1</a><!-- m -->) in the new version, than in the old one???<br />
<br />
Same advice as before ("Quote" all attributes, add alt="some text" attributes to <img> tags, check all align values, etc) but you also need to check how to use the id function correctly as well.<!--content-->Nice layout tha_Gsheep. I intend to design my sites similiarly in the future since that type of layout(with the sliced background image) seems to be popular in my part of the world. Like Giz said though you have some errors that should be taken care of. Most are just repetitive so there really shouldn't be that many. I think I saw somewhere where harmless looking errors can cause trouble with the web spiders. Good luck with your site.:D<!--content-->
