Hello out there,
pls excuse if my xposting might fall into a false group - this is a quick problem which I should solve soon...
Why the heck would Mozilla 1.2.1 on a Mac (OS 9.x) render a HTML-page different from Netscape 6.01 on the same Mac?
The page in question is (temporarily) http://www.gosub.de/felix/waitpage.html
For debugging I turned on the table borders and trans.gif-borders:
Netscape here always makes the spacer-gif table rows too high! It doesn't make any sense to me and I would be so thankful if someone could lead me back to the path of working HTML...
I tried to set the colspan of the spacer rows (to add an extra blank space between the form field rows) to 6 first, of course, and now changed to 6 identical td's - no difference.
I tried to set the table height - no use either
I've added a style to the form tag - no use, as expected.
I'm goin nuts soon...
Any advice much appreciated here,
Roman.

Dear Chris Morris <c.********@dur ham.ac.uk>,
Am 02 Jul 2003 11:11:39 +0100 hast du geschrieben: Netscape 6.01 is based on an early (pre-release) version of Mozilla. I forget which exactly, and don't have a copy to hand, but someting like 0.6 sounds about right
[..] It's a bug I remember seeing quite a lot from some Netscape 6s and spacer gifs. If you use a CSS-based layout you won't need the spacer gifs, but until then a possible workaround is to set style="font-size: 1px;" on the spacer cells (preferably through an external CSS file and classes, obviously).
O.k., this indeed is an enlightenment to me. Thank you very much for your qualified answer and help!
And btw, I would love to use external CSS here, (and clean HTML 4.01), but this page has to be rendered on as many browser/os combinations as possible, and for example Opera 6.05/Win ignores spacer gifs of height=4...
Thank you a thousand times! You really saved my day.
Roman.

Netscape 6.01 is based on a much earlier version of the Gecko engine
than Mozilla 1.2.1.
The page in question is (temporarily)
http://www.gosub.de/felix/waitpage.html
For debugging I turned on the table borders and trans.gif-borders:
Netscape here always makes the spacer-gif table rows too high!
Are you building a new web page with spacer gifs? How retro. ;-)
It doesn't make any sense to me and I would be so thankful if someone could lead me back to the path of working HTML...
See http://www.hut.fi/~hsivonen/doctype.html
Your doctype puts Netscape 6.01 into Standards mode and Mozilla 1.2.1
into Almost Standards mode.
In Standards mode (Netscape 6.01) the table cells are sized according
to the CSS specification - this means that the <img> is treated as if
it was a text character and so space is left below it just as you
would leave space below the letter 'a' in case the next letter in the
sentence was 'g'.
In Almost Standards mode (Mozilla 1.2.1) the table cell heights are
rendered in retro-Netscape 4 fashion with no space below the images.
I tried to set the colspan of the spacer rows (to add an extra blank space between the form field rows)
Why not use margin on the form elements? Or padding on the table
cells?
Steve

Are you sure? It sounds like the usual problems with strict mode and table
layouts, not a bug in Netscape:
<URL:http://devedge.netscap e.com/viewsource/2002/img-table/>
Something to remember the next time somebody claims that table layouts work
the same everywhere.
By the way, if you're going to stick with spacer gifs, alt="" or alt=" ", not alt="spacer". http://ppewww.ph.gla.ac.uk/~flavell/alt/alt-text.html
Ditto.

Then you must use external CSS (hiding from NN4 and IE3) and clean HTML4.
That is most supported after plain text. (Opera 6 has one of the best CSS
capability, BTW.)
There is probably 100 times more browser/os combinations than you know.
And if you mean rendered exactly same with rendered, you will fail. On
all browsers, at least with some settings.

Is it just me (probably) or is Mozilla and the newer Firefox full of
CSS rendering bugs?
I ask, because some strange effects occur with Mozilla and Firefox
which don't happen in Opera and dare I say it, IE.
Like, for example, non-selection of a font-face for one style element,
even though it is selected okay for another element and the colour,
decoration and size are all rendered correctly!

Hello,
AFIAK ASP.NET (1.1) uses a technology called 'Adpative Rendering' to output
HTML that is compliant with the client browser or at least stick to HTML 4
specification or IE.
This seems to be quite a problem for me. I have HTML output for Mozilla that
has missing style attribute in list boxes and buttons and my layout seems
crappy. If I save the HTML that comes for IE and open the file with Mozilla
everything seems correct.

Hi!
I am currently developping a user interface with Ajax/C#/.net. And I am
facing a problem with Mozilla, and Firefox.
I use the function innerHTML to load a Web UserControl into a div, this
way the main page never gets refreshed. It works perfectly under IE,
but with Mozilla and Firefox I got a problem : there is a space before
the thing I want to display everytime I use ".innerHTML".
