you mean like crashing as in really closing down the program? I knew 
Netscape is not very stable but i thought it only happened in windoze 
because MS had built in something anti-competitionishy on purpose to crash 
Netscape.

One of the problems of NS is that if you do not close a table with a 
 tag, it just does not show that table. I think they even think they 
protect 'the standards' by doing this. IE is more flexible with such errors.
So it may help to show your page to some html validator (Homesite has a very 
critical validator build in) and see what tag is not closed.

If possible program in such a way that any opened tag is ALWAYS closed. I 
know some programmers have complete html-building-classes and i guess such a 
class may be usefull to prevent such crashes.

(I thought these horrible differences with browsers were only a problem with 
javascript not with php. )

don't know any bugs but could be helpful if we could see your code...

but.. maybe you think we shouldn't see it ;)

Subject: [PHP] poor HTML syntax crashing (!) netscape


Hi guys,

I have an interesting situation at the moment... my (slightly sloppy) HTML
is obviously missing a closing tag here or there but displays fine in opera,
ie etc however when I try and view it netscape (4.x, windows, linux, any
platform) netscape just nice and cleanly crashes!! If anyone knows of a bug
which would cause netscape to do this then please let me know. The code in
question is very dynamic (what I mean is that it can vary by quite a lot
depending upon many many different things). Its qutie hard to debug,
especially seeing as the page returned is browser specific.. the one thing I
have ruled out is that it is JavaScript.. I removed all of that and no
change.

Any tips will be helpful... in the meanwhile I'm going to go thru all my
functions to attempt to work out what is doing it  *yawn*

TIA
Tom.
