The following code works perfectly when I use IE but for Netscape 7.1 it gives me a white screen along with the arrow.gif. Let me know if you know how to deal with this problem.

Code: Select all

<html>
<head>

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="10;URL=http://www.myurl.com">

<meta http-equiv="Page-Enter" content="blendTrans(Duration=2.0)">

</head>
<body style =" background-color = black">
<hr>
<p style="font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;color:white"> 
In order to get the best performance from this web site, it is recommended for the user to have the following feature in the computer: </p>
<ul style="color:white"> 
<li> 
<p style="font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;color:white"> Borwser: Internet Explorer 6.X </p> 
</li>

<li>
<p style="font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;color:white"> Screen Resolution : 1024 X 768 pix</p>
</li>
</ul>
</p> 

<p style="font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;color:white">
You will be redirected to my web page in seven seconds.
</p>
<hr>
<p style="font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;color:white"> 
If you see this message for more than seven seconds, please click on the arrow !

before anyone tries it, what does mozilla or opera or galeon or anything else that actually follows w3c standards do?

remember, M$IE doing right and anyone other going wrong is more likely M$IE <span style='color:blue' title='I&#39;m naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span> up since M$IE is not made to w3c standards. and that normally means that it's only copensating for your error on M$ operating systems. the mac version doesn't compensate as much on problems.

bonus fyi: <p style="font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;color:white"> Borwser: Internet Explorer 6.X </p>
what's a borwser? is that anything like a browser? ;) (don't worry, i make stupid little typos too, just tyring to have some fun here)

another observation:

why not just have a css declaration in the head:

Code: Select all

<style type="text/css">
      @import url(textStyle.css);
    </style>
and import the stuff so you have one for allpages, or

Code: Select all

<style type="text/css">
      p { font-family:verdana; font-size:100%; color:white; }
    </style>
for this page or a combo where you have the first, then have in that css file,

Code: Select all

p.info{
  font-family:verdana;
  font-size:100%;
  color:white;
}
and call the class?

and one last thing, maybe mozilla does that due to a space and the fact everything in the paragrpah is on a white background....

All the content is there. Just doa Ctrl+a and you'll see the text.

About the:

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv="Page-Enter" content="blendTrans(Duration=2.0)">
I don't know if it works on Mozilla. It seems not working: the effect saw in IE (background color fade) does not show in Mozilla. I will take a look for this on the web...

But here:

Code: Select all

<body style =" background-color = black">
This is not a CSS valid command. This should be:

Code: Select all

<body style="background-color: black">
since it is a style= attribute it should be CSS. That's why the background is white.

Cheers,
Scorphus.

or you could just use

Code: Select all

<body bgcolor="#000000">
#000000 is the hex code for black.

I tested it on Mozilla, Mozilla Firebird, Opera, Galeon, Nautilus and Konkeror and they do just like Netscape.

what did i say about M$IE doig it right and anything else wrong meaning? ;)

exactly why i asked him, i figured from a glance the probllem is Not netscape, but ie, and he needs to look at his css and how that works before he goes accusing netscape of messing up. you proved i was right, netscape was fine, M$IE was screwing up.
