Browsers Problems

[Desmond]

Problems with diffrent web browsers.

I am trying out a section of an old website and getting browser
problems.
At the following location I am having problems.

http://www.des-otoole.co.uk/YBC/holidayClub.htm

Netscape® Communicator 4.79 Clicking on Contact us The <input type=>
<textatrea> and submit are missing.

firefox 1.5.0.10 The Contact us is not even linkable.

Is there a table of what works where and when?

There is no input/textarea tags on the page and the "contact" is a
mailto link, I guess your FF hasn't configured any default mail client,
so it don't try to do anything.

That doesn't appear to be the URL you discuss below.

Netscape 4? That is highly obsolete and I'm pretty sure it hasn't seen a
security release this millennium! It is also very very buggy. Most people
don't bother supporting it and its tiny marketshare. (If you do care about
it, then stick to HTML 4.01 Strict and use the mutiple media types hack,
the media="all" hack or the @import hack to hide stylesheets from it.

firefox 1.5.0.10 The Contact us is not even linkable.

But since we can't see it, we can't suggest why other then to give a
reminder that valid code is the best starting point:

Netscape® Communicator 4.79

What? Am I caught in a time warp?

Netscape 4.79 is *old*. It's not just old compared to other browsers; it's
old compared to other Netscape 4.X browsers. Netscape 4.8 was released in
2002.

Netscape 9 is due out very soon. Do yourself a favour and forget Netscape
4. Do you still support IE 2.0?
