Browser compatability: Netscape 6 displays code

Tuesday, March 05, 2002 8:50 AM (NEW!)
I am now doing browser compatability testing with Netscape 6; I developed a site using IE 6: After logging in using the login page, the homepage simply displays one line of code:
<%@page contentType="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" language="java" import="java.sql.*"%> <% rsJournal.close(); ConnrsJournal.close(); %>
Why is my programming code displaying in the Netscape browser? What is the solution to this? Does the solution present any repercussions with other browsers?

Do you have anything in your server code that does different things based on the browser making the request? If so, that's where I would start looking.

Browser Compatability Help please?

Hi. Im somewhat new to Dreamwevaer, I actually still use GoLive, but slowly trying to move over to DW.
Im doing Browser Compatability tests for a website, and not sure how to fix these errors DW is giving me.
Id appreciate any help or thoughts?
thank you in advance!

You do have some HTML errors. If you run it through this validator, it will show you where they are and you can repair them...
http://validator.w3.org/
There is an error in the css of your <head> section, you have a line of css outside your <style> tags...
#example-one li,#example-one li a { display: inline-block; float: none; *display:inline;/* ie6 and 7 inlin e-box hack */ zoom: 1.0; }
If you don't need it, delete it, if you do, just move it into one of the <style> tag sets. (you may want to clean the css up and move it to an external sheet so everything is in the same place)
The rest of it looks fine according to the CSS validator here: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ the errors it throws, aside from the out of place css line are to be expected and don't affect anything negatively (they're just browser specific code).
I wouldn't be surprised if that line is causing the error you're seeing.

CSS error, style sheet link, affects browser compatibility..

Left comfort of GoLive and tables, to CS5 Suite - Dreamweaver. Basic CSS skills, so don't have the intuitive ability to frame question well.
Regarding this particular page, I simply built, then copied the index.html page on a test site at:
http://www.screamingeagles.com/client_view/ScreamingEagles_v2/index.html
and stripped out sidebars and menu bar, and began building a form in the "main content" area.
URL to page in question:
http://www.screamingeagles.com/client_view/ScreamingEagles_v2/contact/contact.html
Noticed a "green line" in code so checked browser compatibility as follows:
-------Browser Compatibility-------------------
Found 2 errors in twoColFixLtHdr.css

-----------------Error found (green lined in code) as follows------------------------
Line 6: <link href="../css/twoColFixLtHdr.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Validation didn't give me anything to go on. Given my modest coding skills, should I just build a new page from templates as an better
alternative to bothering forum participants?

Browser compatibility issue with IE6/7

Hello,
I created my webpage in dreamweaver on a MAC. I have viewed my page(s) A-OK in Safari and firefox however I am being told that my page is not viewing properly on Internet Explorer. I then found the browser compatibility feature to test the page in Dreamweaver. What I have found is that I have browser support problems...this is the error from my index page - which is actually on all my pages!
un-scrollable content bug:
If one or more absolutely-positioned elements are placed within a relatively positioned element with no assigned dimensions, either no scrollbar will appear at all, or it will not extend far enough to view all of the content. (Note: This bug will not affect your page if the content in the AP element does not extend beyond the height of the viewport.)
Affects: Internet Explorer 6.0
Likelihood: Possible
This bug is on line 56: <div style="position:relative">
This issue is on all my pages...please help
I am just not sure how to solve this problem - I am more of a designer than a coder. Any help whatsoever to point me in the right direction is most graciously appreciated!!!
My webpage URL is: lifeforcemd ah yes that is a .com extension - lifeforcemd.com

Hi kadarusastry,
This issue is about the browser compatibility.

Dreamweaver browser compatibility

I wrote a simple little BMI calculator that was putting the result in a span. Because I wanted to clear all fields, I modified the javascript to put the calculated result into a form input field. Now, the calculator works in some browsers and not others. It works in Chrome and Safari but not IE and Firefox. I verified the code with W3C and used the browser compatibility function in Dreamweaver to check my code. Everything is supposedly fine. HELP! Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi and Welcome to the DW Forum
Start by fixing the reported code errors shown below. 90% of browser rendering problems are caused by malformed code.

Newbie needs help with browser compatibility

Ok, so I'm new at this, so this may be something really
simple, but browser compatibility? I made a site in DW;html and it
shows up perfect in safari but internet explorer and firefox not so
much. I did a browser compatibility test in DW and it says nothing
is wrong with my pages, but obviously something must be!!
On my home page, the image of a house that I have next to the
company name shows up fine in safari but not any other browsers.
And my page layout, everything is moved over funny in other
browsers. Also there are link boxes around the table I created with
different brands of products. On safari the boxes do not show, but
all the other browsers it does!! I'm new at this and frustrated!!!
Need help!!
The link is holmeshifi.com and I posted code from the home
page!

OK thanks Ned sorry to soo dumb I'm on a learning curve here! what
I'm trying to do is go to the URLs of web galleries of images from my
main site
so I would presumably have to rename them on my server? i.e. does that
mean adding the code ", "_blank");
to the files on the server?
At the moment I have to use the back button on my browser window which
takes me back to the main site which then has to reload (tediously!)

Browser Compatability Hell.

Hi There
Does anyone out there know how to solve browser compatibility issues in sites built in Dreamweaver. My site works perfectly in all browsers except IE 8, in which case the table looks like its exploding when the site loads. I have tried running that line of code fixer and I cannot get it to work. This is driving me absolutely insane. Does anyone out there know anything about this?

Please don't email anything. I cannot guarantee a personal response.
Posting a link here is quite common and nothing to be embarrassed about (assuming you're only referring to the browser compatibility issue, that is).

Browser compatability check

I'm trying to use the new browser compatability check feature
in CS3. It seems useless. It tells me there is an error, but
doesn't tell me WHAT the error is or how to fix it. It just points
me to their website, but there is no reference code of any sort to
reference the error. Are there any tricks to this feature to make
it work better?

See these articles for some suggestions:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?

JSF Cross Browser Compatibility

In reading about JSF I find no promise for cross browser compatibility. Am I to assume that this has been missed because
i. JSF is a specification and not an implementation and I should be looking for the implementation to make that promise.
ii. it's basically to hard to promise this.
iii. I didn't look hard enough.
I am guessing it's a (i) with the likely hood of (ii) to follow. But I would be interested on any feed back that anyone cares to add. For example, a implementation that is trying to promise this.

In my opinion, the JSF specification (or better, any specification) can only refer to other specifications, but never to a concrete software product. Consider a sentence like:
        JSF 1.0 is compatible with IEWhat could that mean? Some possibilities:
(1)     As it happened, until now, we did not stumble over a
        faces application that broke when run on our Faces
        reference implementation (version 1_1_01) in a
        WSAD 5.0 container in combination with IE 5.5
        with patch 12345 on Windows NT4 SP6 patch 98765.
        (To breake means to produce a result not legitimized
        by the spec, or to produce no result when one is
        expected, at least not in a reasonable time.
        Breakdowns caused by power failure or other
        reasons outside the scope of the spec to be ignored)Well, not worth any further comment.
(2)     Implementations of JSF 1.0 Spec will not brake
        on any faces application when run in a
        WSAD 5.0 container in combination with IE 5.5
        with patch 12345 on Windows NT4 SP6 patch 98765
        (To breake means ...)That is ok... if you have just this combination of components and will never change. Keep in mind that (2) does not promise
anything if you use IE5.5 patch 12345a (and the saying is, there have been several patches to IE ;-)
(3)     Implementations of JSF 1.0 Spec will not brake
        on any faces application when run in any container
        in combination with IE 5.5
        with patch 12345 on Windows NT4 SP6 patch 98765.
        (To breake means ...)Same as (2)
(4)     Implementations of JSF 1.0 Spec will not brake
        on any faces application when run in any container
        in combination with IE 6.0 on any platform with
        any patches.
        (To breake means ...)Maybe what is intended, just impossible to promise. First, such a bold statement about some software can not be proven.
Second, even if you have gained good confidence by thorow testing, who knows which future changes Microsoft will apply to IE 6.0 (via patches, which offen not only correct bugs, but also introduce new and maybe incompatible features)
(5)     Implementations of JSF 1.0 Spec will not brake
        on any faces application when run in any JSP 1.2
        or higher container in combination any broser
        which supports:
           - HTML 4.0.1
           - JavaScript 1.3
           - CSS 1.0
        where IE 6.0 is a browser which supports these
        three standards on any platform with any patches.
        (To breake means ...)It's getting better. But why, for heavens sake, should a JSF specification make a statement about the compliance of IE with HTML 4.0.1, JavaScript 1.3 and CSS 1.0? I think it would be the job of Microsoft to declare the compatibilty of their products with standards (if any applies, whatsoever).
Therefore, lets get rid of these and we have:
(6)     Implementations of JSF 1.0 Spec will not brake
        on any faces application when run in any JSP 1.2
        or higher container in combination any broser
        which supports:
           - HTML 4.0.1
           - JavaScript 1.3
           - CSS 1.0
        (To breake means ...)Nearly finished, just a little bit wordy. It is (nearly) obvious what 'to breake' means. And that it is common wisdom that software breakes, not some specification (Or, as Bertrand Meyer put it, Bubbles don crash. Specifications may be contradictory or fail to describe an algorithm, but never crash). Common wisdom removed gives:
(7)     Implementations of JSF 1.0 need a JSP 1.2 container
        and a browser capable of HTML 4.0.1, JavaScript 1.3
        and CSS 1.0That's it. Specs exist for two reasons. First, to be discussed and thought about. Second, to be implemented. (To the supporters of agile methods: of course you can reverse the sequence ;-). Therefore, specs should be as short and concise as possible, omitting any useless blabla. If the specs are sufficently precise and of moderate complexity, we can even try to prove the compatibility of the specifications. 'COMPATIBLE WITH IE' is advertisement, not tech talk.
Conclusion: Mixing up specifications and implementaions is generally a bad thing. Exception: All sentences where a specification and a implementation are mentioned together should have the form:
         Implementation X does [not] conform to specification Y
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I have a follow up question, just inspired by yours. It does not especially concern JSF, but web pages in general.
Some time ago, I stumbled over quite a few web sites with big red eye catchers:
OPTIMIZED FOR INTERNET EXPLORER!!!
And really, they did not look good on Netscape Navigator. Now, my question is, what do you think when you hit such a page? My first thoughts (it's long ago) have been:
    - Oh, nice designers. They really care for the majority of people,
      my neighbor uses an IE.
    - They just skiped the work for other browsers and sell this as an
      optimization. And I didn't get it. Very clever.
    - Poor Guys. Probably they had no other browser at hand.
    - Obviously they had publish this tremendously important information
      under pressure, no time to also optimize for others browsers.Wolfgang Oellinger

Browser compatibility checker

I wrote earlier about problems I am having with the correct
presentation of my home page with Safari 3.X and Firefox vs. IE7.
With Dreamweaver CS3 the browser compatibility checker works
with (as one browser example) Safari 1.X and 2.X.
Is there a way to update the checker to deal with the newer
versions of any and all browsers so that the checks can be of more
current use? I already know my site is fine with Safari 2.X, but
the outmoded check can't give me any clues as to what is wrong when
viewed with 3.X, etc.
Thanks.

If you have page rending problems run your site through the
W3 validators.
Valid code takes care of most, if not all, rendering problems
in Safari, FF,
Opera and IE7.
http://validator.w3.org/check
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
Sorry, I don't know if you can update the browser
compatibility checker
list. I never use it. I run my sites through live browser
checks.

Why are most websites only displaying code like text?

Almost all of the web sites that I frequent have began displaying code like text on a blank white background. Some sites still have hyperlinks and images here and there with random text, but others are fully blank with what appears to be the code of the website showing. I wasn't able to access this web site until I tried multiple times and it magically worked, but others are still not working. The only sites that I have tested that have worked from the start are Google related sites (Gmail, Google, Youtube). My yahoo email is inaccessible, which is an important email for me and all other sites that i frequent are inaccessible. One major thing to note is that the sites are also inaccessible on Internet Explorer. This would typically lead you to believe that the problem lies with your connection in some way. I have reset my router/modem and it had no effect. I also have ran CCleaner and have deleted temp files, cookies, and caches. I have tried running Mozilla in safe mode with add-ons disabled as well. My malware protection and antivirus protection find no issues after completing full scans. One last thing to note is that, on both Firefox and IE, certain sites allow to me to access the homepage, such as yahoo, but once I attempt to check my mail the random display of code appears. On IE it simply says that the site cannot be displayed once I click to check my mail. Gmail works perfect on the other hand. The only things that I have done during this time are:
Setup a LogMeIn account (Hamachi) and connected my PC to their service
Downloaded and began using Malewarebytes software to remove malware that I had picked up
Other than those two things it has been the same usual actions on my PC. Could the malware that I had still be effecting me somehow even though it was found/deleted? Is my router to blame even though resetting it does not help? After all the things I have tried, what could it be?

What is the content type of those pages if you check that via Tools > Page Info > General?
Is that text/html as it should be or text/plain as your screenshot would suggest?
You can also check the Net log via the Web Console (Web Developer > Web Console;Ctrl+Shift+K)
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Tools/Web_Console
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Using_the_Web_Console
This can be a problem with your firewall that modifies the server response headers if the settings in Firefox are correct.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting
A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Spry accordion browser compatability issues

I am building my first site and was in the process of checking each page for browser compatability. this certain page has spry accordians and I have some error messages that I don't understand.
The first one says Line 48 has 2 errors in SpryAccordian.css. I don't have any indication of what the problem is and where exactly line 48 is on the page. Is there a way for it to take you to that exact spot to show you where the problem is?
I clicked on get more info. and came to a page that doesn't seem to be addressing what my issue is. Don't understand that part.
How do I fix this and why did it happen?
