Why does NS 4.7 crash on my homepage? - 12/21/2001 16:41:20
I've created a 900 page website for a small town in Scotland using FrontPage. But in the last several weeks I've noticed that Netscape 4.7 crashes on the homepage at www.maybole.org . NS6.2 works fine. Can anyone tell me what part of the code is bad here? Thanks

You have soem stuff there that NN does not like - such as table border styles (eg border-collapse) and table/cell heights. They do not ususally cause it to crash completely but it would be worth removing them to see if it helps. It is crashing NN for me too.
I am sorry I cannot help more - that is a wonderful site - it really draws you in, I just spent ages happily poking around in it and I am not even remotely the target audience. I will go back and look at more again too - I WANT TO GO TO MAYBOLE and I cannot understand how I never heard of it until now!! Absolutely fascinating stuff, truly wonderful images and easily one of the best sites of its kind I have ever seen. Great job, and what a job it must be!

Theres nothing that stands out here either.
Perhaps some of the styles?
It doesnt appear to be the javascript near the base of the page, I removed that and it still crashed.
It may be trial and error, removing code till it doesnt crash, to narrow down which part causes it.

Gosh, I was not aware of that - that alone would almost put me off getting FP2002. What a pain.
The real reason I would have a problem with it is not that it is not supported well (and it is supported only by IE 5.5+) but that it throws such unecessary additional HTML into a page. Even if it were supported it is something you would probably only use occasionally.
Why do MS keep doing that?
Here is an explanation of what it is supposed to do: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/tables.html#collapsing-borders which, frankly, makes it about as clear as mud to me.

After looking at the code I am definitely not upgrading. There is tons of stuff not compatible with nn4.x . Why don't you run it through net mechanic or one of the other services and it will tell you what is compatible and what is not.

I was not aware of that compatibility issue. Hmm, and forcing NN/IE compatibility doesn't force the tables to be written without the collapsing borders code?
