Need help from a Mac user.

Post by martin »

A Mac user has told me my site (one page) does not work for him using Netscape Communicator 4.7 and a Mac OS
9.1 platform with a PowerPC chip.
If you've got a spare moment please check the time page at

http://www.knabba.com/client_delta/inde ... D=ct123456
username:mongo
password:mongo

It's the forth page in which produces gif buttons to select times.

Thanks for any assistance.

I found the problem with Netscape. Here is the img src code from your site:

Code: Select all

<img src="http://www.knabba.com/button.php?string=09:00 AM"
border=0>
The problem is that you have a space in "09:00 AM" right before the 'AM'. Internet Explorer doesn't seems to be bothered by this, but Netscape can not parse it properly. Here, you can test it your self if you have a Mac. just stick the following lines of code into a html file and run it.

Code: Select all

<!--With a space--//-->
<img src="http://www.knabba.com/button.php?string=09:00 AM"
border=0>

<!--Without a space (filled in with percentage notation)--//-->
<img src="http://www.knabba.com/button.php?string=09:00%20AM"
border=0>
In Mac Netscape the first image won't show because the link processor ends before reading the 'AM' part. but the second image works because we have filled in the space with '%20'

May the heavens smile down upon you.
Thank you.
Martin.

I've put an underscore in to try overcoming the problem, so if any Mac user wouldn't mind taking a look for me and letting me know the result, that would be great.
