Netscape (ugh) - 2/3/2002 1:34:46
http://www.ashlandmass.com
I got into trouble when I decided to use some free software. Although really neat- and helpful to someone untrained, I painstakingly put this on a FP 2000 with some 2002 features web site. Most people who are going to be using it like it. Yet, there's the Netscape contingency which I ignored. However, I tried going to some sites which gave some alternate coding and I used that for a bit, but it only hid some shading. Any ideas? I posted or rather a guy who works on our Intranet with me, asked to the MS Front Page Newsgroup and got some instructions I couldn't understand.
HELP- I used Selteco- and it is terrific to use and shows well, fast and simple. Problem is - I tried to make compatible with Netscape and couldn't. I'm just too naive about Netscape to really care, but a wee minority of viewers are unhappy. What to do? I can't learn coding. Soon, we will have content on the site by departments and the town really likes the drop down menu as a header/shared top border.
Any ideas that a non-coder can learn?
Thanks
Paula

It can be fun using 'tricks' that provide dynamic content, like drop down menu's but without knowing what % of the population for your site may use NN, its best to stay away.
Generally the quoted %age is low, but you may for some unknown reason have a higher population that uses NN.
With FP, you can set the compatibility settings to disallow any non NN coding.
In your case,it becomes a usability thing as you rely on non NN stuff for navigation.

You could use a dynamic menu that is compatible like http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/topmen4/index.htm
I think Troy has the best idea -- just use one of those drop down navigation systems that is compatible...you can do it - can't be too hard.

I guess I'm just intimidated by all the terms that I don't know. I WILL try again.
Thanks for your support.
Why does there have to be different browsers anyway? Just kidding...... I will learn, I will learn.....

I tried dynamic drive, which looked alot like the Selteco Menu Maker, but it created an error and wouldn't load upon an attempted opening.
Thanks though- I'll keep trying. On MS Front Page newsgroup, I got alot of coding type answers, and at present can't even find the html they're talking about. Maybe this isn't for me. Ugh!
