NN4 error with base href - 5/25/2003 2:00:26   
If you view the forum in NN4, youll see no style sheet is applied
The error appears to be related to a rogue first line (doesnt exist in code) :

<base href=" www.frontpagewebmaster.com" >

Has anyone seen that or know how its generated by NN4?
It doesnt exist in the lower level pages

huh? :)

It doesnt exist Gil - the only time it exists in code is when NN4 makes it magically appear. I cant edit something that isnt there :)

Some part of NN4' s interpretation of the code makes that line appear as the very first line of html. It doesnt appear anywhere else [:j]

eg:
<base href=" www.frontpagewebmaster.com" >
<html>

From what I understand you have to add the line in YOUR code - then NN will addit' s own - but will read both.

Are you sure we are talking about the same thing? :)

Ahh no :)

If you looked at the source code from www.frontpagewebmaster.com when viewed with NN4 youll see the problem on the first line.

NN4 has inserted this code itself. I want to stop it from doing so.

No can do - From what I' ve learned.

That' s why the workaround at the site I posted the link to

To be honest, I cant see the relevancy of it :)
If it were the case, the same problem sould exist on this page too.

Ah, that seems to be one of the most baffling things about it - it only affects the index page or something like that, I will have to look again for all the stuff I read about this bug...

Here' s a response I got a while ago about this issue...

i don' t think it does it automatically for *every* page you view in it. I
think it only occurs on those pages with javascript that' s writing to the
page.

i wouldn' t worry too much about the base href tag it' s putting in. as soon
as it encounters another it will ignore the first and use the next one it
encounters.

I guess the main issue is, not that its there, but that it prevents the css from loading (so I believe)
The code / javascript is basically the same, yet css loads on other pages.
Looking....looking.....:)

I know NS4 has many weird things with it and loads of bugs too. It' s not bad for a browser that is that old though! Consider that the specs for NS4 predate 1997. That means it' s more than 6 years old!

Tell browsers to upgrade. In my opinion stop waisting your time with Netscrap 4

RE: NN4 error with base href - 5/29/2003 20:05:27   
I don' t know why.. cause i anti-love NN4... but this has been sticking in my head.....

questions:
[1]is the style sheet in the top level or the same directory as the HTML ?

[2] do you use negative values?
CSS1 does not allow negative values on this property.

[3] is Percentage applied based on the font size of the parent element?

[4]do you have redundant selectors on <BODY> (add TD, TH, P)

[5] what about the use of explicit <body> and </body> tags:
<style>
body { font-family: Courier; color : #060; font-size:18pt;}
</style>

[6]i didn' t open the ccs file but did you declare background-color on HTML, cause you can' t.

The same style sheet works on every page, except default.asp
The style sheet may not be the cause, but its certainly a symptom of the problem :-/

Solved!
Most of the problems stemmed from the use of " absolute" in the body tag.
However, the base href is still there, but the site is working in NN4 :)
