browser compatibility problem

Meredith_JX

Hi, I've just redone and published our site - mainly used fp2003 although I
put a bit of extra scripting in here and there.
It all seems to work fine testing it in internet explorer, but I just
installed netscape and firefox and it had a couple of issues. I have two
forms and while you can fill them in ok and they get sent, the confirmation
page that comes up afterwards has no pictures, or background images and it
looks like some of the things from the dynamic template is missing. If I
then click on a link it comes up with an error saying Bad Request (invalid
hostname).
This could be to do with the fact that we are hosting it ourselves and as
such it's not working properly - I really don't know.
I'm using layers and one of the them doesn't quite line up - but I can live
with that - I'll just call it arty. Also not everything is properly centred
in netscape and firefox, but once again I can live with it - it's the issues
that come up after the forms that I need help with.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

A lot of seeming incompatibility issues between IE and Mozilla
browsers can be resolved by using a DOCTYPE for your page. This will make
sure that both browser sets are dealing with your page in the same way. This
is especially true if you step up all the way to the HTML 4.01 Strict DTD.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

For confirmation that your page is coded according to the selected
DTD, visit each of the following URLs to validate both your HTML and your CSS.
