[WEB4LIB] Cell borders in Netscape

[Jeff Burns]

Scott,
There is a browser compatibility function in FP2000:  Go to: TOOLS>COMPATIBILITY. Depending on what you select for your browsers/Version will enable or disable certain functions. I just looked at you page in Netscape Communicator 4.51 and it looks the same as in I.E. 5.5. Am I missing something? You can also seperate cells by using the cell padding or spacing function. Right click on your table or cell and select cell properties.

Are you running both browsers on your machine or do you have a browser emulator?

Jeff

Here's another one for the web "gurus" out there!

I'm still in the amateur class of web design so I'm a little cautious
putting this web site on this list for criticism!  But, I need some pointers
and will take the chance.  I'm mostly using FrontPage, I just upgraded to
2000, but I do SOME (maybe 10%) of the page by hand, particularly the little
bits of javascript tossed about it.  My current question delima concerns
cross-browser compatibility.  In IE I can add a style attribute to the TD
tag and create a border around specific cells in a table.  I like this, as
you can see on the page, because it lets me seperate blocks of information
without resorting to those darned horizonal lines.  However, when I view the
page in netscape, along with several other problems, the cell borders are
not there.  Anyone know of a way to do this for both browsers?  Like I said,
I'm an amateur (this is the first "real" web page I have constructed!)
