Hey guys,
I have recently designed a page (http://tigerlady.diaryland.com) which looks and works fine on the PC's I have tried - which are using IE 5.5 and 6, with a resolution of 1024x768.
The person who uses the site seems to be having problems stating...
"The image that I'm getting is where the gray background looks fine, but the
tiger and the title look like they are spliced and scrolled up and down that
background, instead of the whole title being on top and the whole tiger being
on the bottom. Each entry page looks different, too. As for resolution, I'm
clueless. "

I was wondering if you could check it out and let me know how it looks from your end, letting me know of any problems and what browser versions/resolutions etc you are using.

Thanks
Mxx

have a look with netscape 4; it's a bit of a mess

I think NS does not read <Div> tags.
Can anyone confirm this?
How do I get around it?

No, there's no inherent problem with ns4 and DIV tags, you might wanna look at things like this

<div id="cdiv" style="OVERFLOW-Y: auto; WIDTH: 100%; HEIGHT: 320px" >

overflow styles are not supported in netscape, and unecessary anyway - auto is the default

<td background="http://www.murphyz.co.uk/redesigns/tigerlady/text1.jpg" height="93">

there is no such attribute as "height" - you need to find another way of keeping the height of that TD - maybe use an image spacer

I checked it with ie6 and it looks good, but with netscape 7 it looked like this... (and it kept repeating)

Thank you for the attachment. I downloaded netscape to take a look - so now I just need to figure out how I get the functionability and looks of IE within the Netscape browser - I have a similar problem with my site as I also use the inline scrollbar, it's not as drastic though. I can't try any solutions whilst at work though as all of my designs are at home. grrr. Looks like I best start reading up on cross browser compatability.
