Ya I don't mind 6+ at all. 4.x needs to burn though.

Yup.  I've found that making your HTML be compliant with "HTML 4.01
Transitional" and validating it through the W3C Validator service really
helps with the compatibility issues.  You can make the same content look
fine in Netscape 4.x, IE and the new Gecko engine they're using in Netscape
6/AOL.

see: www.dtdns.com

I just spent most of the day yesterday playing with the HTML and running it
through the validator until it checked out ok.  A few tweaks later and it
renders in all of the browsers ok.  Now to test in Opera, though I don't
think it will cause any problems.

PS: For the nitpicky, the whole site is not yet Fusebox or W3C compliant,
but it's getting there ;)

Yeah, except for the fact that Netscape is about to take a very large chunk
of the market share back from IE... The next version of AOL will have the
newest Netscape browser in it instead of IE.

Ouch.

I actually thought that the netscape bug was that it couldn't find css files
in subdirs... if you put the css in the same dir as the page it should work
fine.

Maybe we should just kill netscape :)

What if you set request.stylesroot to "/styles" instead of "styles"?

Netscape is obviously interpreting "styles" as the domain, and trying to
wrap "www." and ".com" around it.  Perhaps a leading "/" will discourage
it...?

Anyway, it looks like it can be worked around.  As I mentioned, I tend to
CFINCLUDE my stylesheets to get them working consistently with Netscape.  An
unsatisfactory solution, but we all have feet of clay ;-)

See you later,

In my environment the baseref is

    mike.work.net

request.stylesroot is

    styles

the url I use is http://mike.work.net

and the version of Netscrape is 4.73...the lowest common denominator I have
to develop for (fighting tooth and nail by the way).  I hard coded the
directory and this strange behavior has stopped.  I like to hedge my bets,
but you are usually more right than you are wrong so I gambled...and as
usual you were correct.  It seems that Netscape does not like the paths like
that.  Of course, the site still does not work...but it looks like those
will be yet more issues on my plate to deal with.

Okay,

So you're using SES?

* What's the value of #request.basehref# and of #request.stylesroot#?

* And what's the URL of this page?

* What version of Netscape?


I think I have heard of an old bug in Netscape that ignore BASE HREF for
Javascript and CSS files, or something like that.  If that's the case, then
you might have to workaround by actually CFINCLUDE-ing the stylesheet.
Works fine, but you lose tha advantage that cacheing the stylesheet would
give.

Whatcha reckon?

Well...that's the rub...there is no generated output I can view.  Netscape
just spins its wheels.  Figuring that since nothing has been output, it
could very well be what's happening in the <head> tag of my main layout
file.   Hope this leads you to the right conclusion...I don't have much hair
left.

Hi Mike,

Can we see the HTML source of the page that changes to
http://www.styles.com/main.css ?  I have a sneaking suspicion...
