NS and CSS

Greetings,

Trying to figure out why...oh why...Netscape 4.75 does not like my code:

<div id="1" name="Example" level="1" menutype="links" style="visibility: hidden; margin-left:10px;">
<a href="#http://example" class="links">Example</a><br />
</div>

According to Netscape visibilty should be valid and so is it's value of hidden...but yet it is always visible.

Also Netscape says it believes in Margin-Left...but it just sits there on the far left side mocking me.

Any ideas? URL

visibility text for netscape is:

hide
show

tried that too.

Still no worky.

<div id="1" name="Example" style="visibility: hide; margin-left:10px;">
<a href="#http://example" class="links">Example</a><br />
</div>

it appears Netscape does not care much for using style: in the <div> tag.

putting the same style into the <a> tag worked.

BUT I WANT IT IN THE DIV! URL

Stupid work arounds...

You can't use style and ID at the same time. Id is defined in head-tags, and style is for each div-tag with no ID. That's also why margin-left doesn't work. And I have always used visibility:hidden for css-positioning.
Also, in my NS 4.7 I couldn't use "1" as ID, but it worked fine using "ID=er".
By the way, you have mixed THREE styles:
ID, style and class.

hey,

i've found that it only recognized some properties when you've defined the position.

try adding "position:absolute;" to the style definition. (relative should do the trick too, but it seems to need the position attribute either way)

Just a correction for jaredn, while NS4 allows hide and show, it ALSO allows hidden and visible.

With respect to using ID names, in NS they must begin with an alphabetic character, with IE they can begin with alphanumerics or the underscore character.

If you use ID and NAME in the same tag, aren't they cancelling each other out?

Alright, I have a simple CSS file that I'm working on. Perhaps someone can take a look at it and teach me if I've done something wrong. I must admit I just started using CSS after all this time.

Everything looks fine in IE, and NS 6, but NS 4 shows the default fonts. Below is what I used in my external CSS file.

Thanks for your assistance.
