Well i would like to see if maybe some of you could do me a tiny favour.

After recently learning some HTML code, i added some to my Oddworld Universe website. Then i remembered reading that Internet Explorer and Netscape will sometimes interpret HTML differently. So i opened my main page 'feeco depot.html' up in both of them.

Guess what? Internet Explorer worked perfectly like usual, and Netscape, ARGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!, it totally stuffed up the extra HTML i added!

So about the favour, i would like to ask a few people if they have both Internet Explorer and Netscape to go to this website using both IE and Netscape, feeco depot and tell me if one of them is stuffed up.

Also which one do you prefer and use most often, IE or Netscape.
This is all to determine whether i should make Oddworld Universe an IE prefered website. I don't want to do this but on Netscape it stuffs my website up, so sad. Otherwise i take out all the cool HTML stuff i added.

Also to make things easier i have made a poll about this on the page as well. But it will probably only show up on IE (how ironic).

Thanks in advance

ok have see and vote, For me is EI better' because with Netscape the images and the links are on the wrong places !

[Teal]

Yes, IE is better - Netscrap jigs all the pictures and links round so they don't match up.

[Sl'askia]

IE is the one for me...I hate Netscrap

[Gluk Schmuck]

Netscrap, quite frankly, is crap.
I have always hated it compared to IE.

[Xavier]

netscape is cool only when you use it to do things that IE can't do...

Good, i guessed that most people liked IE better.

But what about the people that don't have IE, well oh well. When i view Sydney's and Abe Babe's site clearly HTML has been used. And it works on both IE and Netscape.

So far to my knowledge, to make HTML work on both IE and Netscape i would have to toatlly do my website in HTML and not use it in only some places.

If you go to that page again 'feeco depot' you'll see that if you view the 'source' some of the HTML is mixed around.

Take a look at this picture, this is what my webpage looks like in the yahoo pagebuilder, the blue things are the added HTML:[img]http://photos.msn.com/ImageServer/Image.aspx?Image=0h9xCkj4Yyo6VbTdcNrmhglJSkAWB6C9O3hBg49FQUPlRAes3kWCq6M7PnhsQHV*WG37SlhvQ3onA997LOt AoUkI9*DoODgh0JxImE3XPbyX*RheE0CfaJi xwKG1dpLCJnoY5CBZfRXsNHMdDxr02MqUzOLmPrM!Dh4uy68hANAuqWviLOOe0q3BBWCiXAfzxyIKpgPcKVDdFnLCWzNSfvvOKts 8HP5XIiUEsYTwFiVbpbSoo41ZxBSozxUvxXggr3RDVvYG0FJqwpshxJQ0OPq0rc1*7zDyJdwSiARHK3h yIzKWEHi*b5b6c!awcdCzbgnqGxLNqV2HJpc1I4QIq!*CsqFj3u7u[/img]

Hello, Alcar.

Looking into the code of your web page, I noticed that you (or the program you use to edit the page) make use of a STYLE element called "absolute positioning" a lot of times. It was reported that Netscape Navigator 4.X (4.0 up to 4.7) can't handle absolute positioning if the block being positioned have an < a > < / a > HTML element. Netscape Navigator 6 and above doesn't have this problem.

My advice: To position elements in a page, try to use TABLES (you can put tables inside tables with a relative freedom)

This code, for instance, won't work in Nestacep 4.x, because you have an < a > < / a > HTML element within a block that is absolutely positioned.

< div id="layer1" style="position:absolute;left:18;top:149;" >
< a href="http://www.oddworld.com">Oddworld.com< / a >
< / div >

[Alcar]

Yeah........what????

I don't make my webpages totally with HTML, i use Pagebuilder which comes with Geocities. Here is the picture i tried to use earlier:

As you can see the program generates its own HTML code. All i have to do is move around text, pictures etc. But when i add my own HTML into the page, which you can clearly see by the blue rectangles. They are the HTML i added.

So i don't know what to do, for now my website is down due to a major update and is also become a IE website

I hate Netscape, too. Words can't describe how frustrated I've become while trying to get a webpage to work in both Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator. I suppose we can hope and pray that one day people will no longer use that broswer. Oddworldian's tables are severely ****ed up in Netscape, take a look if you don't believe me.

[Alcar]

Yeah of course i believe you, but i went around to your site too see what things did stuff up.

And no i don't believe *******cked up is apropriate, i think ******ing *******cked up Netscape is more like it,

But i'm amazed that your links that make a new window pop up aren't misplaced as they are for my website when using NetsCRAPe.

Well anyway Oddworld Universe will be down for the next few days or more... due to an update mainly in the Creatures/Environments department
