Im designing a website and have been having some minor issues.

Discovered its because im using Netscape, which treats certain code differently to Internet Explorer. Because of this I want to know how many of you actually use Netscape?

im a netscape use0r too

*raises hand for explorer*

I use nutscrape

heh had the same issues for my pages . I use netscape but came to the conclusion that most people seemed to use IE.

Will be interested in the results...

ahhahaha that slike Wetpatch (for Westpac)

but yeah... IE here

If all you're looking for is stats the IME you typically you will see about 90% for all versions of Internet Explorer, 5% Netscape, 5% other.

I absolutely hate both....use sumfin different there's heaps better browsers out there.

but to get more to the point here........

use a generalised code when coding the site cuz i've run into the same problem before myself. sum codes work with both and sum don't.

The code in particular that I was having problems with was scrollbars.

If you give a frame scrolling ability (scrolling=yes) and it doesn't need to scroll IE will leave a blanked out scrollbar on the screen where as Netscape will not display a scrollbar unless it needs one.

Makes aligning frames of different sizes a pain. Yay for making pages with only notepad : /

whooooaaarrr....you actually doing it in notepad?????....why?

i hate coding in notepad it takes bloody ages.....use dreamweaver ...does all the coding for you

That's because nutscrape doesn't respond to scrolling=yes, it still behaves like scrolling=auto which is the default.

I've always used it. Its how I learnt and I guess old habits die hard. Haven't really considered using anything else.

That's right. That's what I was saying. I've had to change my page to tables instead of frames as a result. Oh well.

i prefer mozilla over the others has a good javascript tool to tell u whats goin wrong

dreamweaver is a bitch too it tends to want to change the code all the <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=time&v=56">time</a>, i prefer homesite

try using style sheets for ur layout too makes the code a lot cleaner

Mozilla for me, or Mozilla FireFox on slower PCs.

I use teh Opera

iv always used notepad to code my webpages, so much easier than using code generators and such..
i havent tried coding with netscape, only with I.E..

Frames = OlD SkoOL!

prefer using netcape but get forced to use IE now

Heh yeah. I just use whatever is functional and works best for the page Im creating at the time.

Have always wanted to get into style sheets.
