Why can't I read the reviews?

[Conaill]

Hey Morrus...

I can't see a damn thing when I try to check out the reviews. I just get a black page. The info is there, I've occasionally read revies by scanning through the Page Source, it just doesn't show up. (This is not something recent, BTW, I've *never* been able to see any of the reviews.)

Anybody else has this problem? I doubt I'm the only one. I'm using Netscape 4.75 under Linux. Usually have Javascript turned off, although turning it on doesn't seem to have any effect.

To be honest, I have no idea. Might be worthh upgrading your browser - perhaps it doesn't support some of the code?

It's worth a try, really. I'd recommend Opera 6 for *nix: http://www.opera.com/linux/

Hm... What should your average review page look like with Javascript turned off? I don't want to start debugging Javascript, but maybe I can figure out if there's something wrong with the HTML.

It is actually the fact that Netscape 4.x never wants to show the content correct that is the issue here really, and that we don't support older browsers.

I suggest Mozilla 1.0 or Opera for you instead since those browsers will work with the d20reviews site.

hope that helps.

AHA!

Found the bug... there's a missing </table>.

For example, the page with the Latest Reviews has 6 <table> tags, and only 5 </table> closing tags. Likewise, the E-Tools review has 13 <table>'s and only 12 <\table>'s. I added one at the very end, just before </body>, and all of a sudden it worked. I doubt that's the right spot, but you should be able to figure out where the missing closing tag should go.

Wow! managed to break the vB code with that one. Shouldn't happen!

What I meant to say is that there's a misssing closing tag for the tables. I.e. a missing < / t a b l e > tag.

For example, the page with the Latest Reviews has 6 < t a b l e > tags, and only 5 closing tags. Likewise, the E-Tools review has 13 table tags and only 12 closing tags. I added one at the very end, just before < / b o d y >, and all of a sudden it worked. I doubt that's the right spot, but you should be able to figure out where the missing closing tag should go.

Opera is a great browser; I recommend it over Mozilla.

Ay, Liquide! Where the h*ll have you been lately?

No... It's the fact that Netscape 4.x is pickier about bugs in the HTML code. Like not closing table tags.

Any chance this will get fixed?
