Hi Brian,


I've done a quick look and found a few things... (could be wrong, as I
said... quick look)

top of page,

<td width="10" rowspan="3">&nbsp;</td>

should be rownspan=2?


nested table

<td width="100%" align="center">

I would get rid of the width="100%".  I know it fools NS on some occasions,
as sometimes it takes the width of the window, not that of the table.


You could also maybe change the <td align="right"> that catches the arrow a
<td>, so the arrow is centered, then if no right or left arrow should be
displayed, replace it by a transparent gif with the same size as the arrow
(make a 1x1 gif, but set the size in html).  I think it's more userfriendly,
quicker to navigate.

Don't know about your use of two pictures per page.  It seemed to fit
800x600 at the start, but don't know when two pictures are displayed.


Hope this helps,


Kayjey

Onderwerp: Dead Links on Macintosh - Please test


HI All,

Can any of our Mac Users test this site for me:

http://www.heathrobbins.com

A Mac user is accessing this site in the client and portfolio sections and
can move from one portfolio/client to another but cannot drill through the
pages in a single portflio. The portfolio navigation is available as arrows
at the bottom of the portfolio page. The Client navigation is available as
text links in the client specific pages - not all clinets have multiple
pages.

The site links are mostly hard coded so I am at a loss for why the
navigation is failing. The user in question is using Mac OS 8x and is using
a currently undefined version of Netscape.  Could this be caused by nested
tables? Style sheets? Does anyone even get the problem??

Regards,

Brian Kortland
