javascript resize columns not resizing Netscape properly

shaunacg · Jun 9, 2004

Hi,

I have a site that uses a resize javascript to get the left column to match the length of the right column. This works and looks fine when viewed in IE, but not in Netscape.

The page can be viewed here:

The Style sheets are at:

and

http://www.b-hop.com/members/CSSProblem/WetWildStyles.css

Also, does height not work for Netscape? I thought maybe I could make the div a specified height as a last resort (although this isn't the best solution for the dynamic pages that will change in length).

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Shaunacg

Hi Shaunacg,

I tried to run an online validation of your page. There are some problems with it. It's way too large to debug quickly for me.

However, here's a few things to fix:

[tt]<STYLE>[/tt] is only valid inside [tt]<HEAD>[/tt] and [tt]</HEAD>[/tt]...

There cannot be anything between the [tt]</HEAD>[/tt] and [tt]<BODY>[/tt] tags...

Also, I believe that you'd be better off with all your scripts EITHER in seperate .js files OR in the HEAD section.

Remember that HTML is an interpreted scripting language. This means that if the code isen't compliant to the standard there is no way to guarantee the outcome.

Good Luck with your project
