dreamweaver + CSS styles not workingin NS6 + No sound.

[boyfromoz]

NS6 is causing me no end of problems. Two main ones.

(1) I have a big site which is extrenally CSS'd. Works fine in ie5.5, not seen at all in NS6. DO I need to insert some extra code to get NS6 to recognise me external style sheet?

(2) I have buttons which play sounds "on mousedown". Works fine in ie5.5, no sounds in ns6. Anyone had the same experience. It's bad when just completed a site for a music shop and they only use NS6....

what is the code for the mouseovers

the css although is a different case
the css that netscape shows is different and ie shows is different so u might have to create two style sheets that are compatible with respective browsers

I've built a site with a shopping cart at

http://www.halonet.com.au/beesworks/shop.asp?intsup=16&pn=brief&supname=beesworks&subcat=cdc

Hard coded the ASP, did the front end in Dreamweaver. SHopping cart is totally reliant on style sheets done in DM4. Works fine in IE5+, but NS^ doesn't see my style sheets at all!

Anyone ele had this problem? Can someone have a quick peek at my code and tell me what the problem is?

UNicorn11? You there still?

The problem is not so much with your code, it is more to do with the lack of support for CSS in Netscape version 6. NN6 is a, well, OK it is a very poorly written browser.

Your site looked, for the most part, ok for me in NN6. I always use a full path to my external css files.

If I had a client using NN6, the first thing I would do is warn them that there are some things that will have to be coded just for NN6 (redirects etc...), and the time and effort, not to mention the cost, is simply not worth it. NN6 doesn't even have enough of the market share to be statisticaly an issue, and will not, because it is not a very popular version of NN. The reason for that, is the fact that there are still lots of bugs to be worked out.

It was my underscores. I was naming classes like this
class="brief_price"

IN ie5+ the udnerscore is ignored.
IN ns6, it is seen as error and the whole class is ignored.

WHat a pain that DM4 allows udnerscores to be used when NS6 rejects them. i wonder how many other such instances there are in DM4?
