image table...something wrong

Hi again,

I'm having problems with a table. Everything works fine after netsacpe 7
resizes, but before the resize the images seem out of place. Looks fine
in other browsers though.

Please have a look...And yes I know that Netscape is no more, but my
clients insist i use it because their customers use it.

What have I done wrong this time?

in its frameset:
"http://www.paetzolddesign.com/clients/camcraft/home2_frameset.htm"

the page on it's own: (watch out for the force frame Javascript)
"http://www.paetzolddesign.com/clients/camcraft/homepage2.html"

help please...

Your code on those pages is likely the source of problems for you.

Your attributes are not quoted as required, e.g.,

<BODY BGCOLOR=#333333 ONLOAD="preloadImages();" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0"
marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" background="topBAr_bg_02.gif">
<TABLE WIDTH=800 BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0>

(note the lack of quotes around bgcolor and the table attributes)

I suppose this is what happens when ImageReady creates that HTML. You'd be
much better off building that table in DW, and just using the images from
PS.

In general, a table with frequent (and large) col- and rowspans is not going
to be very stable cross-browser -

<TABLE WIDTH=642 BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0 class="management2">
<TR>
<TD COLSPAN=5 BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF> <IMG SRC="images/homepage2/spacer.gif"
WIDTH=634 HEIGHT=12></TD>
<TD ROWSPAN=4> <IMG SRC="images/homepage2/homepage_bg1.gif" WIDTH=8
HEIGHT=392></TD>

(by the way, there is no management2 class declared in your stylesheet)

I'd say to improve the appearance of that page in any browser, you should
clean up that table....

OK,

I fixed the inconsistancy in my programing all quote marks are where
they should be and the stray style is gone from that table. Still
Netscape loads the page strangely until I manually resize it.

Is there a script I could use that forces the Netscape browser to think
it's been resized once, after it's loaded?

Is there someting else I'm missing?
