RE: Browser versions et al

["Shores Mark" <shores@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks everyone for the help regarding browsers, HTML et al.  I have been
manually inserting </table> and </html> tags into our search pages, since MS
FrontPage didn't automatically do it.  Upon viewing the pages in an older
version of Netscape (v. 4.75) they look fine.

Hi Mark,

This problem happened to us a couple of years ago. I think it is the 
HTML code that Frontpage is creating. We were building pages in 
Dreamweaver 2, that would display in IE but not in Netscape. To 
solve the problem we used the Dreamweaver command 'clean up 
HTML'. I have looked at a old V2 frontpage, but could not find a 
similar command. You may need to use another web authoring 
package such as Dreamweaver to solve your problem.

Cheers Leo
