I have just completed a full website for my company. First time and by no means an expect.
http://www.imaginative-traveller.com.
In Front Page I arranged each of my pages with drop down boxes showing dates and prices of each tour, over 300 of them. Now I find that Netscpae users see only ugly text and no drop down box. Have I done something wrong?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Can't blame me for this one - I didn't add that feature. I won't mention TeRRa's name, but the person responsible for this hack will be notified :P

If you open your pages in a text pad, you can manually change these rather easily just copying and pasting.

For more information on this visit:
http://www.aota.net/Pre-Installed_Scripts/redirectionmenus.php3

Since it appears that you have no need for the "submit" button you can delete the following code from what the script outputs to you


<input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Go&quot; align=&quot;absmiddle&quot;>


Hope this helps, if you have any questions let me know. I will also examine your code to see if I can find an easier fix.

Ok, I have found your problem. On each page you will need to add the following line before each of your menu items.


<form ACTION=&quot;http://www.imaginative-traveller.com/cgi-bin/CNCjump2.pl&quot; METHOD=&quot;POST&quot;>


In your code it would go right after


<select name=&quot;D2&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;
[nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp]style=&quot;background-color: rgb(255,135,15); text-align: center; margin-left: 1px; margin-right: 3px&quot;
[nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp]tabindex=&quot;1&quot;>


So basically the first part of each scroll down code will look like something like:

<form ACTION=&quot;http://www.imaginative-traveller.com/cgi-bin/CNCjump2.pl&quot; METHOD=&quot;POST&quot;>
<select name=&quot;D2&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;
[nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp]style=&quot;background-color: rgb(255,135,15); text-align: center; margin-left: 1px; margin-right: 3px&quot;
[nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp]tabindex=&quot;1&quot;>


Again test this on one page to insure it works then move on fixing it the rest of your pages.

If you need further help just ask :)

Marty:[nbsp][nbsp]Interesting site--welcome to FQ!

You'll have to watch your stats, but if I excluded NS as a site-compatible browser, 30% of my visitors would be pushed away.[nbsp][nbsp]That's sorta at odds with a website's purpose.

There've been a number of discussions here about making sites cross-browser compatible so you might want to do some searching to learn the tips and tricks of the pros here (which I am not and explains my very basic design websites)!

(ah, elite found the fix--nice!)
