Forms not showing in Netscape ?

What makes netscape not showing form elements in a page?

[FwAnK]

Has somebody found out what makes netscape not showing form elements in a page?

My tables are opened and closed properly and my html looks pretty clean...

Thank-you

AFAIK netscape will not render form elements unless they are in between <form></form> tags.

I know, the form tag is there too. :)

Welcome to Webmaster World FwAnK, you said...

> opened and closed properly

Typically this is the problem when your form elements are not showing in Netscape. What version of Netscape is it? Can you sticky me with a URL for review?

Sticky = Sticky Mail. Just click on my user profile link at left, then click on my Member name, that will open a new Sticky addressed to me.

I know that too.
I am pretty sure that my tables are allright.
Sorry, i can't give you a url. It is not online yet.

I'll double check to make sure that my tables are not wrong but i doubt that very much...
I just tough that there was something obvious causing netscape to act dumb once again.

thanks anyways!

Try validating your html using [validator.w3.org...]

Take a peek because, if you are using a WYSIWYG, I have seen dreamweaver and frontpage move around form tags. The form tags being misplaced or broken is the main reason I have seen for elements not showing in NN.

I am a notepad kinda guy and i even made a perl script that checks for my tables structures. It makes me pretty hopeless...

you could also post us a code snippet and we might be able to see something.

<added>you keep saying tables but I assume you do know we are more concerned with the

<form action="script.pl" method="post" name="someform">

and

</form>

Hello FwAnk, welcome to Webmaster World!
Netscape is a stickler on coding - a single mistake can cause failure. That is a good thing, as it encourages good coding practices.

Here is a related thread that you might find useful, though the problem is slightly different:

ok, i found it!!!

I appears that Netscape does not like having a <div> tag WITH STYLE inside a form but outside of any tables.

This does NOT work :
<form name=test>
<div id="bla" style="position:absolute;">div tag</div>
<input type=text name=cool>
</form>

This work :
<form name=test>
<table>
<tr><td>
<div id="bla" style="position:absolute;">div tag</div>
</td></tr>
</table>
<input type=text name=cool>
</form>

My day is done.
Enjoy! :)
