sokaman,
I viewed your link in NS 7.1 and IE 6.0 and I like the look in NS better.

thought I'd check out the site using Netscape, just to see what would
happen. Well - the site is a mess when I do! I've been searching all
over to see where, exactly, the compatiblity problem is (it appears to
be something to do with table background colors &/or websafe colors)
but, for this life of me, I can't figure it out. Could someone take a
quick look at a sample site I've put up (certainly not the "real thing")

soka,
1) You've made the page in Layout mode. IMHO, you should start all over
and make it in Standard (Design) and Code view. This might give some
pointers: [url]http://www.vendel.info/tabletut/[/url]
2) It's 138Kb, which will take 20 seconds to download on a 56Kb modem.
That's about 3-4 times too large/slow.
3) Your code is a mess. Do a "Clean up html" under commands.
4) Fix the topmost tags above the <html> and insert correct doctype. It
seems as if you want xhtml. Is that what you want? :
[url]http://www.hut.fi/u/hsivonen/doctype.html[/url] and
[url]http://www.alistapart.com/stories/doctype/[/url]
5) I'm not sure about this, but you have 144 closing tags looking
</blabla>. Will that work in xhtml? Shouldn't they look <blabla />?
6) The link to the CSS seems to fail. This might be due the screwed up
tags above and in the head.
IMHO, you have tried to bite off more than you can chew and you've added
too much javascript and extras without knowing what you're doing. Also,
I'd skip that flash logo and instead make a faster loading gif that's
not spinning around and grabbing the attention, and it doesn't require a
plug-in.

Dan,
Jus took a look at your site - lots of good info. I wish I had seen it before! Anyway, it looks like a LOT of the problems are that:
1. I did do some things in layout mode (probably best to avoid it all together from now on).
2. I used Fireworks to create the popup menu. (is there ANY good set of instructions on how to create one? I posted on another macromedia board, a couple of weeks ago, about how to create them but didn't get a response). Loading that into DW was rather cumbersome, to say the least.
3. I've regularly use the "cleanup XHTML" under "commands" but it tells me that everything is fine (ugh!).
4. Now that I've essentially got the design I want, I guess I'll have to start from scratch to recreate it.
Also, I had created a template which is what I used to generate to sample page I posted. I'm beginning to think that templates are not as simple as perhaps they should be.
Any other ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
