I have a client who had trouble viewing an HTML page that used CSS. The background was set to a normal shade of blue, but all she saw for a background was white. But, the funny thing was, she was able to view the background when it was an image (even though it came out pretty poorly on her system; may be on account of her CS browser as well).
And yes, her system is running at True Color (32-bit).
Is your friend on the latest version of the browser?
Why is your friend using AOL browser - try mozilla or a gecko based browser, similar feel should sort out the CSS parsing issues.
Why is your friend using AOL browser...
She was using her CS/AOL browser because she didn't know any different. She didn't know that it's a pathetic browser. I'm not even sure if she even knew about IE before I told her about it. The dangers of CS/AOL...
I have heard rumors that AOL degrades image quality. It that possible or is that an urban legend?
Yes, that is true. That was another thing that was happening. When she tried to view the gradient background that I had made for her site in her CS/AOL browser, it would look very distorted, like 4 inch strips of different shades of the same color. It was driving me nuts at first, as it was happening on her friend's computer as well. But thanks to some posters on this forum, I figured out what the deal was.
Another thing...are java and css related? I have a Netscape 4 browser (I also have v. 7, of course) that I use sometimes that has Java disabled, and when I went to her site with that browser, it couldn't even see the gradient background. It was like it couldn't read the CSS. But I suppose that could also just be the fact that it is only Netscape 4. That is an old browser.
