hey all. i designed a website for my workplace and it looks great. the problem is that certain pages are 'freezing up' as they are loading. this problem only happens on certain platforms, and with certain browsers - and only on certain occassions! The images used in the page are, for the most part, quite small (mostly transparent gifs). The layout is quite complex and uses lots of nested tables, but can this be the root of the problem? I developed this page (along with the entire site) using the mac version of Dreamweaver. If anyone can take a look at the site and can help me figure out what is going wrong, I would greatly appreciate it... I'm completely baffled.<br />

The URL is:<br />

once you are there, click on the link that takes you to 'case studies'. this is the page that freezes up.<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />

Oh & I was wondering, are the lines on your page Gifs, they appear to be? I'm new to web design & have been amazed lately to the amount of Gifs used for the design of many pages. Not many HTML sites will give you the tips of the trade.<br />

J, MSD<!--content-->Yes, that is the most curious part - the site only freezes up on the mac & pc version of Netscape4.77... I've never seen this happen before, and don't really know how to address the issue. ANY HELP FROM ANYBODY WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!<br />

re: the gif's - yes, all images in the site are gifs, save a few of the thumbnails. most of them are transparent and were created with Fireworks.<!--content-->an error like this could prevenet Netscape from displaying a page:<br />
<br />
(line 300 & 359 & 418, could be more):<br />
<br />
<table width="100% border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><br />
<br />
note there is no " after 100%<br />
<br />
run your code through an HTML validator and look for missing <td> or <tr> tags, unclosed tables, missing quotations, etc. Netscape is very strict with code and will often not display pages with errors in table code or missing quotations.<!--content-->wow. thanks... when youre writing lots of code (i hand-code alot in the dreamweaver editor) i guess these little things are easily missed. do you have any HTML validators that you can recommend that are free?<br />
<br />

john<!--content-->also nested table make it harderand longer to render to the screen. especailly Netscape as it has a real hard tiem with nested tables. because it renders the page a lot different than IE.<br />
<br />
but here are some validators<br />
