Netscape/Frontpage
Issues
Why
are my table cells missing in Netscape?
Netscape
browsers do not display empty rows or columns. This is
in accordance with the HTML Standard. Microsoft has the
FrontPage 98b Update available for download the corrects
the problem.
If
you prefer, to work around this problem enter a small
transparent image and use the image appearance properties
to adjust the height an width to suite your needs. You
can also enter two (2)   tags by keying in Crtl-Shift-Space
twice.
How
do I set the Margins for Netscape Browser?
In
the HTML view edit the BODY tag to include MARGINHEIGHT
and MARGINWIDTH tags for Netscape 4.0+ browsers.
The TOPMARGIN and LEFTMARGIN tags are for Internet Explorer
and can be set using Page Properties. The HTML code
should look similar to that shown below. -
<body
marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" topmargin="0"
leftmargin="0">
-
Why
doesn't my page display, or it crashes in Netscape?
The
most common problem for this is the use on Inline
Styles. Internet Explorer makes good use of Inline
Styles, which are part of the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
standards. Netscape, however, does not support these to
the extent available in FrontPage or Internet Explorer.
To ensure Inline Styles don't cause problems with other
browsers, the styles need to be defined in external .CSS
files, or embedded between the <style></style>
tags. For example the following HTML code (Inline Style
shown in Bold Type) causes Netscape 4.0+
to crash:
<td
WIDTH="597" style="padding-left:
5px" height="13" valign="top"
align="left">
In
FrontPage, you can define the styles using Format/Style
Sheet from the pull down menu. Then you can apply your
styles using the format drop down menu, or in the applicable
properties form. For example, if you created a Style
called .mystyle then the above HTML code would look like:
<td
WIDTH="597" class="mystyle"
height="13" valign="top"
align="left">
Why
does my page Refresh in Netscape?
The
CONTENT-TYPE Meta Tag causes problems in Netscape Browsers.
Delete the Meta Tag that looks like:
<meta
http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">
Your
problem should go away.
Why
do colors display differently in Netscape?
Older
Netscape browsers only support a 216 color palette.
Why
does my page crash in FrontPage Editor?
Pages
created in Netscape may include HTML that causes problems.
Check the HTML code in a text editor like Notepad or WordPard
and look for font tags that look like <FONT FACE="">
and delete the tag. The tag indicates
there is no value for the font. You must also delete the
next </FONT> tag.
Why
doesn't my Marquee display?
The
Marquee only works in Interner Explorer. Netscape does not
support this tag just Microsoft does not support the Netscape
Blinking text tag.
Why
doesn't my page print in Netscape?
First,
try clearing the Cache. Second, the chances are there is
a Java Applet, Image Map or Embed used on the page that
doesn't allow Netscape to print. Try removing the
code and see if the page prints. If it prints okay, then
the decision to use the applet or not is yours...
My
Page has tables in it - how do I speed it up?
The
first way to increase download speed is to use the CSS2
fixed-layout property on all of your tables. The
fixed-layout property allows the browser to start
drawing your tables right away, rather than calculating
the size first and then rendering. You can add this tag
without affecting any older browsers (including Internet
Explorer, Netscape Navigator, WebTV, and others).
<TABLE
STYLE="table-layout:fixed">.
</TABLE>
