I need the help of you who are using Nescape browser. Go to this page and
tell me if the forground scrolls over the background picture?
http://www.marinemammalstrandingcenter.org/volunt.htm
I watermarked the picture on this page but it dosen't seem to work on my
friend's computer. I use EX and he has Nescape. I always thought that this
would work on both browsers. He is the only person I know who uses Nescape.

Now go to this page.
http://www.marinemammalstrandingcenter.org/stran.htm
When you place your pointer over the seal, you should hear a baby seal cry.
Again this won't work on my friend's computer. I think this should work on
both browsers.

Is it his browser or don't these things work on Nescape? Is there a way I
can make them work?
 
one issue is a javascript (seal crying):
JavaScript Error: http://www.marinemammalstrandingcenter.org/stran.htm,
line 46:

this[au].play is not a function.
and there are more errors (ns 4.xx)
the other issue is a .css issue where the ns browser doesn't do a fixed
background.

you could go through a great deal of work to get either to work in the older
Netscape but IMHO it's not worth it.
no matter what I don't think the fixed background property is available in
ns 4.x

on the upside it was fairly well-working in opera.

HTH
 
So you think that it dosen't work because my friend has an old ns browser. I
haven't checked his version. Everything works well on my IE. This should
work on the newer NC browser? from where do I start counting the lines?

Hi,
there's no support for fixed backgrounds in Netscape 4. The way you've fixed
the background
<body background="images/dol7v4.jpg" bgproperties="fixed">
Is IE only. if you apply the background with CSS like this
BODY {
background-image: url(images/yourimage.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
}
It will work as you intend in IE and all modern browsers, Netscape 6 + Moz
etc.

Morris,
If you really want to learn about .css the best book I found is HTML Utopia
from www.sitepoint.com and the best program I have found is topstyle from
www.bradsoft.com both urls have a partial/ limited free download.

One thing I've found on my own is the css for positioning is too difficult
to throw time into and it's not "backwards compatible" to the older
browsers. at the risk of committing sin I recommend using all the .css you
can only id-ing and class-ing tables and cells. there, I've said it. ;-)

Hi Morris,
First remove the background you've applied (Format - Background and uncheck
Picture) Now open Notepad type on a new page
BODY {
background-image: url(images/dol7v4.jpg)
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
}
save this page as styles.css and import it into your web. With a page open
choose Format - Stylesheet Links from the menu check All Pages and choose
styles.css. Now test your page in IE and Netscape 7 and notice your
background is working properly in both browsers.

Hopefully this will give you a quick start in CSS :-)

I'm not talking about NS4. The scroll is not working in NS6. Should it work

The way you've applied the background no it won't work in anything but IE.
If you follow the steps in my earlier message the scroll will work in NS6 -
and any other modern browser. There's no way to get this effect in NN4 atall

it work in this version?
