Problem with page rendering in different browsers

[Simon Hanmer]

Hi all,
I'm working on a page at the moment -
http://www.scottish-logcabin.co.uk/calendar.php

It displays as wanted in IE6, nearly as wanted in NN7 and horribly in Opera
7.03

I've run the page through the W3C validator which says everything is valid,
so
was hoping someone here can offer some suggestions as to getting a
cross-browser page
working.

Thanks,
Simon

Opera supports 'display: inline-table', which you should use instead of
'display: inline' for all those tables.

Rijk, thanks for that - works great in Opera now (at least the version
I've got here).

Can anyone suggest how I can get around the netscape problems?

Take all the styling off the html element, take the height & width off
the body element, add an <hr> as the last thing on the page & style it
"clear: both". Or something like that....

To which I would add the comment that the first few releases of Opera 7
seemed to have rather a lot of bugs (by Opera standards). From the
discussions I've seen, it is better either to stick to Opera 6 or
upgrade to at least 7.10.

Given how many problems Opera 6 has, that's truly scary.

Let me give you an example. (I've W3C validated both the HTML and
the CSS. Nevertheless these problems might be my fault, and if so
I'd be glad to know what I did wrong.)

I tried printing
http://www.acad.sunytccc.edu/instruc...at/smcase6.htm
in Opera 6; (1) lists were in smaller type than normal; (2) tables
in larger type than normal; (3) I got wide gaps between letters and
their adjacent subscripts. (You don't actually have to print; Print
Preview displays the same problems that I see on my paper.)

Mozilla 1.2 doesn't have those problems, but it has others: (4)
Despite page-break-inside:auto it won't page break inside a table;
and (5) it chops off any images that happen to fall near a page
boundary -- which is why I went back and printed using Opera.)

I keep meaning to upgrade my Mozilla (which I hope will fix those
problems), but it seems like 1.4 final is due out so soon that I'm
reluctant to spend the download time for 1.3.

With a recent nightly build I get a page break inside the M&M's table &
I don't see any problems with images near a page boundary.

Since I discovered http://www.mozillanews.org/bonsai.php3 I tend to
upgrade pretty regularly - broadband's a wonderful thing.
