Menu bound to a table and Netscape 4.X shows a blank page

Please note that official support for this menu version has now ceased. There are still plenty of users, though, and the forum is still running. Some of our long-time users may be able to help you out.

Menu bound to a table and Netscape 4.X shows a blank page

Post by mike12 »

I have a menu working in all browsers and being bound to a cell of a table with the Placemenu function.

The problem is that Netscape 4.7x displays a blank page, view source option shows all the HTML. If I remove the place menu call the page is displayed, without the menu.

Source for the palce menu call is :

<table bgcolor="#000000" width="687" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="16"><img src="images/space.gif" width="16" height="20" alt=""></td>
<td width="21" bgcolor="#cccccc"><img src="images/space.gif" width="21" height="1" alt=""></td>
<td width="634" bgcolor="#cccccc" align="left"><TABLE valign="634" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><TR><TD><script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">PlaceMenu("mainmenu");</script>&nbsp;</TD></TR></TABLE></td>
<td width="16"><img src="images/space.gif" width="16" height="1" alt=""></td>
</tr>
</table>

I have also tried having no widths applied to the hosting TD and table, but that does not seem to work.

Any suggestions/help is appreciated.

I think the problem may be unrelated to the menus. That version of NS is finicky about closing HTML tags. Look at your page overall and see if there might be a missing </DIV> or </TABLE> or other structural end-tag. NS will just sit there showing a blank screen in this case, even though you can see your entire page when you View>Source.

HTH,

I get the same problem as the person in the first post. I did miss a couple tags so now i can see my content, however, now i cant see the menu in NS 4.79...all other browsers work fine, and when i viewed source, everything was present.
