(OT): HTML & Browser Compatibility

[James]

Does anyone know of a newsgroup or reference where I can determine why
certain elements render differently between say, Internet Explorer and
Mozilla? Our site has some of the worst HTML I've ever seen and some of it
renders terribly. I think I'm finally through repairing all of the "IE
Only" CSS tags. Another problem I'm having is that when I use JavaScript to
hide/show a row in a table, it works fine in IE but colspan formatting seems
to be lost on Mozilla/Firefox in this scenario. Anyway, I'm really just
looking for a decent newsgroup for HTML related problems. Anyone know of
one?

Thanks,
James

a forum dedicated to web dev)

Try...
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets

Also try validating the pages with the w3c validator (www.w3c.org) - if they
validate, they will tend to display well in all major browsers.
