Netscape display

[ByTe]

Here is a weird one...

The site displays great in Internet Explorer, when the page is loaded in Netscape v.7.1, it does some really strange things:

1. The font size changes and is reduced from its normal size. The preferences on Netscape are setup properly, it only does this with my test site.
2. When you move your mouse over the page (not a link), it highlights the entire text in the catalog portion, this also highlights all links on the page.
3. When you move your mouse over any item in the catalog, all links are highlighted at once.

Any suggestions?

Its like having a conversation with yourself... I found the answer for the text underlining after hours on this forum. To save anyone else any issues, here is the fix:

One thing to experiment with is opening the actinic.css file (in your Site1 folder) and look for the following:One thing to experiment with is opening the actinic.css file (in your Site1 folder) and look for the following:

a:hover{
color:NETQUOTEVAR:HLINKCOLORCSS;
font-size:x-small;
text-decoration:underline;
}

Try changing it to:

a:hover{
color:NETQUOTEVAR:HLINKCOLORCSS;
font-size:x-small;
text-decoration:none;
}

See if this stops the underlining.

Have to give credit where deserved, I will post the answer to the text resizing if I figure that out.

Here is how you fix the Netscape text, compare to the origonal actinic.css file:

/*cope with inheritance bugs*/
body, table, th, td{
color:NETQUOTEVAR:FGCOLORCSS;
font-size:10pt ;
font-family:CUSTOMVAR:ACTCSSFONTFAMILY;
}

/*body specific*/
body{
background-color:NETQUOTEVAR:BGCOLORCSS;
background-image:url(NETQUOTEVAR:BGIMAGECSS);
margin-top:20px;
margin-right:5px;
margin-bottom:5px;
margin-left:5px;
}

form{
margin-top:0px;
margin-right:0px;
margin-bottom:0px;
margin-left:0px;
}

a:link{
color:NETQUOTEVAR:LINKCOLORCSS;
font-size:10pt ;
text-decoration:none;
}

a:visited{
color:NETQUOTEVAR:VLINKCOLORCSS;
font-size:10pt ;
text-decoration:none;
}

a:hover{
color:NETQUOTEVAR:HLINKCOLORCSS;
font-size:10pt ;
text-decoration:none;
}

a:active{
color:NETQUOTEVAR:ALINKCOLORCSS;
font-size:10pt ;
text-decoration:none;
}

li{
color:NETQUOTEVAR:FGCOLORCSS;
list-style-type:square;
}

ol{
color:NETQUOTEVAR:FGCOLORCSS;
}

ul{
color:NETQUOTEVAR:FGCOLORCSS;

}

H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6 {
font-family:CUSTOMVAR:ACTCSSFONTFAMILY;
}

.actCHECKOUTEM {background-color:NETQUOTEVAR:CHECKOUTEMCSS;}

I'd be wary of fixed pixel font sizes as this may make your site inaccessible to people with bad eyesight and who rely on being able to crank up the text size via browser options.

Netscape?

Of some 100+ sites that we manage, the overall visits by Netscape users is 1.38%. It begs the question, why bother?

At one time it was a major player, now it is simply extra work.

It has got to the stage wereby if anyone requests Netscape compatibility, then they should pay the extra for testing and fixes.

The only real reason in the past was for AOL users, but I think their browser is now based around IE so netscape is pretty much dead in the water.

I haven't bothered to fix it due to the tiny % of netscape users that access my site...
