Compatibility of the web site in IE 5.0/ Netscape Navigator 4.x

Hi,

I have problem that, i have developed a web site called URL which i can see it in internet explorer but when i open it in netscape navigator, it doesnt diaplay anything and when i right click on that page and click the view source, it shows me the entire html code.

Could you please tell me what would be the reasons and solution of that.

Thanks and Regards

Gabriel,

okay, here's your problems...

you have missing table-related tags in your code...ie is much more forgiving than ns about sloppy code. netscape won't even show a table if there's a missing tag in it. the reason for these missing tags/sloppy code is that you're using a wysiwyg editor, and frontpage at that! ;) microsoft knows that it can get away with writing sloppy code and still have it show up in THEIR browser...and they really don't care about cross-compatibility.

so here's some solutions...

write the code by hand, for god's sake! ;) at least then you have control over the code. if that's not an option at this point in the game, at least go through the code and find those missing tags. for future use, if you don't want to hand-code your html, at least use a browser-independant wysiwyg editor like macromedia dreamweaver or allaire homesite (now the same company... *sigh*) or adobe golive, and you at least have a better chance of it being cross-browser friendly.
