[CLUE-Tech] Netscape keeps dying bring up web pages

Sun Apr 7 13:06:49 MDT 2002

Ah yes, the good 'ol Netscape 4.XX problems!  I sit and code HTML all 
day long, so I've seen this plenty of times.  Your problem is sort of with 
Netscape, but more with the webpage you're viewing.  I am willing to bet 
you $100 that if you view the source of the page that didn't show 
anything, but says it's done, that you'll see all of it.  Why you ask?  Well, 
Netscape 4.XX has a major flaw if you look at it like I do.  If you forget a 
single </table> tag, it won't show the entire page.  It's like it's expecting 
to find that tag before it displays anything, and if the tag isn't there, you 
won't see a thing.  So, if you check out this code in any newer browser, 
and then in Netscape 4.XX, you'll see what I mean:

<html>

<table>
 <tr><td>Testing</td></tr>

</html>

All versions of IE show this alright, and Mozilla/Netscape 6.X show it fine.  
Some people don't consider it a bug though, just a stricter enforcer of 
good HTML!
