Nutscape has me going nutty!

Can anyone please tell me why one page out of a dozen simular pages will not display in Netscape? 
 
The page displays fine in IE and other pages just like it display fine in Netscape so I am stumped. 
 
The page url is: 
<a class="postlink" href="http://www.pro-hillclimbers.org/jonpics.html">www.pro-hillclimbers.org/jonpics.html</a> 
It works fine in IE. 
 
Here is the exact same page with different content which works fine in both IE and Netscape, can't figure out what the difference between the two can be.

Thanks, 
KWJamsKnew it before I even saw it. 
You didn't close the table in there. 
 
Netscape is more picky than IE. IE will sweep bugs under the rug, great for newbie surfers, bad for programming. 
 
For every <TABLE> <TR> you'll need another </TR> </TABLE> somewhere. For the total of 2 seconds I spent looking at your source code I can say your missing some closing tags in the middle somewhere. I'll bet it was an incomplete copy & paste.That gives me a direction to look at.

**FIXED IT, THANKS** :rocker:Which is why I keep saying. . . 
 
proof in Netscape! If it works in Netscape it'll work in IE. There are the *really weird* occasions where this isn't true . . . but they are really rare. 
 
I keep hearing things like "netscrap" and all that, but the fact of the matter is that IE is a much larger program than netscape and 90% of that is code built to enable IE to read poorly written, unvalidated code. 
 
But I rant . . . 
 
and it appears I am preaching to the choir since you are trying to make your site work in Netscape . . so keep up the good work. You'll be a better coder for it.

-beth Couldn't agree with you more Beth!!I have version 4.7, is this ok or should I look for a newer version?well, I believe that more people are still using N4.7... that will change in time. 
 
Rock on Beth!Just looked at my page in a new version of Netscape 6.2 and is it ever messed up.

IE did not show the problems I found in NS4 and NS6 is showing even bigger problems. 
 
Look at this page in IE, this is how it is intended to look; 
<a class="postlink" href="http://www.pro-hillclimbers.org/travis.html">http://www.pro-hillclimbers.org/travis.html</a> 
 
Then look at it in NS 6.2----yuck!

yah so, it aitn't nothing that can't be fixed.

I noticed you forgot a # on this BGCOLOR="FFFFFF" 
 
and then Netscape will always treat tables different than IE. So you have to watch the widths and heights.I missed that, I was thinking part of the problem was I have quotation marks on width and height 
 
<BODY marginwidth="0" etc-etc 
 
Should I remove them?no it is better to leve them and that is a good habit to put them on. 
 
I am taking alook at your page again in NS6.2 and see waht else I can come up with.was put in there to keep font from running into the pictures and that red area in NS 6 seems to be about that big, but I tried it without it and the problem is still there.

hehe I found it I found it.

tell me what is wrong with this. 
 
<TD vAlign=top width=732 bgColor=#ffffff colSpan=2 BORDER="1" <td><IMG height=1 src=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"500pixel.gif" width=500 border=0> <DIV style="COLOR: black"> 
<CENTER> 
<H3>RIDER PROFILE N.A.H.A. # 1 </CENTER> 
 
another prime example of IE excepting broken code.but is the table border part of the problem and the > & < left out between <td colspan="2" img border="0" ?? 
 
And the # sign by "#FFFFFF" ?yes the > is left out. Netscape will not work right if the code is broken, unlike IE where it doesn't care if you write sloppy code. 
 
I added the > and took out the <td> after it and it worked just fine.
