View Full Version : Crazy thing about Netscape/Mozilla

Okay, I understand IE doesn't follow standard HTML code, etc.

But I have a page that looks the way I feel it should in IE, but not in Netscape/Mozilla. I'm not by any means an HTML guru, but I like my pages to at least be acceptable in all browsers...

Please view the following page with Netscape/Mozilla and Internet Explorer...

http://www.angelfire.com/nc3/thecrawdaddypage/army.htm

I put a percentage value for each of the pictures on the top half of the page, which in theory should make the pictures shrink and expand as you do the same with your browser window. Also meant to work with different resolutions, etc..

It looks right in I.E., but not in anything else.. It has the 'stair' effect that I can't figure out why it does that...

If anyone has any knowledge or suggestions of how I can fix this, it would be greatly appreciated... :)

There are some MAJOR width="x%" problems in Mozilla which probably won't be fixed, being that it's deprecated. Try putting the <img> tags into the table that the captions are in.

WHOA! A response!!!

Thanks for letting me know that it's a browser bug, and not a I.E. quick fix thing..

I've submitted the bug to Mozilla and Netscape. Hopefully one of them will fix the thing.

As far as the table thing goes...

It works right when using Mozilla/Netscape, but not with I.E. (Doh!).. I.E. doesn't shrink the images lower than their original size when in the table.

I wouldn't worry about IE not being "standard HTML" complient, because I have pages that look really crappy in both netscape and mozilla but display right in ie, that validate as correct xhtml and css :P

I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but: perhaps you should use browser detection.
