Re: netscape 4.x display problems

Hi Lisa

Are you sure it's your JavaScript that's causing the problem?  It could be
the combination of your script and the proprietary rubbish that's causing
the problems.

I had a look at the source (noting that you didn't write it) and it's
incredible how much confusing, proprietary bloatware it contains.  Typical
WYSIWYG crap, with tables nested at least 6 levels deep, just to position a
few images.  And many kilobytes of code just to do some simple mouseovers
(or that's what I think it is supposed to do). Unbelievable.  Doesn't even
work properly in IE - the mouseovers don't work unless you actually hold the
mouse pointer over the image for a while (no preloading by the looks of
things - maybe another 40kB of code could fix that).

But I digress.

There's no form on the opening page, but if you're talking about the popup
or the cart, you could be right.  The closing FORM tag is required (in the
standard) and Netscape (4) won't display form elements unless they are in a
properly constructed form container.  (oh, that popup is also a typical
example of WYSIWYG bloatware - 16kB of code for a simple form)

Do you have a version online that does "work" in NN4?
