have compatability issues

[joelmac]

I am the webadmin for a site developed using microsoft technologies
www.tech-centric.net

the web pages have severe problems on Macintosh:
IE 5.1 - looks like a totally blank page, but if you scroll to the right a couple of page widths, there is the page
IE 4.5 - looks ok
Netscape 6.1 - looks ok
Netscape 4.7 - bad display, all keywords displayed at top of page

any suggestions?

best
Joe

it looks great on Safari. I don't know why it does that on IE. Usually it is the other way around, with Safari having problems. Typical Microsoft bs, create a site with their software and other software from them won't read it.

For starters

http://validator.w3.org

Also, the very first row in your table looks suspect.

<tr>
<td><IMG height='1' src='images/spacer.gif' width='128'></td>
<td><IMG height='1' src='images/spacer.gif' width='128'></td>
<td><IMG height='1' src='images/spacer.gif' width='128'></td>
<td><IMG height='1' src='images/spacer.gif' width='128'></td>
<td><IMG height='1' src='images/spacer.gif' width='128'></td>
<td><IMG height='1' src='images/spacer.gif' width='128'></td>
<td width='100%'><IMG height='1' src='images/spacer.gif' width='1'></td>
</tr>


You may not want to mix fixed width with percentages, especially 100%. You see the first 6 cells are going to be 128px wide and then the last one is declared as 100%????

Finally, i wouldn't sweat IE 4.5 or NS 4.7. If people are still using those browsers, they have bigger problems.

PS. make sure you validate both your HTML and CSS

I'd start with cleaning up your HTML and CSS - I've found it really helps to track down inconsistent display among various browsers if you know they aren't choking on your code.

Check the errors returned by the HTML and CSS validators and go from there...
