An outside source suggested removing the maroon line and replace it with the <hr> tag. However, Management wants me to keep the marron line. I want the work to be friendly to users of Netscape. Since Netscape does not support <hr>, the only options I can think of are the maroon image and changing text decoration from none to overline. If text decoration is changed how can I make sure that the overline is in maroon?
What versions of Netscape support text decoration=overline?
What are the major differences between the maroon line at our site and the red line at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.erols.com">http://www.erols.com</a><!-- m --> in terms of printing purposes. When I preview and print erols.com it supports the entire page on 8.5x11 without a cut off. They also use an image.
I did a pre-test offline without the marron line and every page printed normally except for services. Services cut off a small portion of the Checkers image on the right.
Would a script be useful to force all eight pages to print normally without cut-off on 8.5x11? If yes, where should it be inserted?
Could the table percentages be a problem? If yes, what percentages would fix the printing cut off?Netscape does support such coloured horizontal lines although some people prefer to use styled CSS divisions or borders.
It probably doesn't help having a table-based layout that page is also fairly bloated with regards to markup rather than CSS styled.I read in several websites and in several html books that Netscape does not support <hr>. I also preview my work in Netscape and it does not look the same. This is why I prefer images.<hr> works in Netscape, but the color attribute is not supported in it I believe. In fact, the color attribute on <hr> tags may only work in IE. I'm pretty sure Mozilla doesn't support it either, and I don't know about Opera. I don't think either Netscape or Mozilla will let you use CSS to to color an <hr> either.This is why I prefer the posting of an colored image to subsitute for the properties of the color of the hr tag.
At first I thought it was just the hr tag. Now with your informtaion, I realize that is a supported tag of hr that does not support Netscape.
As far as Opera and other browsers, we are not concerend.
We only are concerned with N4 and above, and IE 4 and above.
We are not conerned with IE3 or N3, Opera, or other browsers.
But I do know that a maroon image will support browsers better than a hr tag with the added color property.If you want a colored line using the <hr> tag that works in IE and Mozilla, you need to define the color and background color as the same. I would do this with CSS. There is a thread on here that talked about this very issue. Here it is...
