Broken Page :( HELP!

[sheila]

OK, I have an auto-subscribe page for my ezMLM lists. Last time I looked at it (months ago) it was fine. Today, due to wolfstalks requests in another thread (re:ezMLM), I looked at my page and was horrified to see that it is broken.

Well, OK, not broken, but it only displays correctly in the infamous IE, and in Netscape I cannot see the radio buttons or the other form fields or the submit button.

The page is here:
http://www.thinkspot.net/materdei/resources/subscribe.html

I tried using my Homesite HTML editor validator tool, and it indicates a problem with the table tags (bad nesting). Well, I do have nested tables on that page. I tried to fix the tags (spent close to an hour dinking around with it) and could not get the forms to be visible in NS and only succeeded in screwing up the width on my decorative table borders around the edges.

What really puzzles me, is how could a page that I KNOW was working correctly a few months ago (I only use Netscape for browsing and testing, so I know it was fine), that I have not touched in the interim, suddenly break like this???

Have you updated Netscape since the last time it worked? There are a couple of versions of Netscape with a particularly annoying bug where if a form input field is wider than the table it is inside, the whole form disappears.

I noticed the text box is quite wide in IE, and Netscape renders text boxes almost twice as wide as IE does - thus pushing it wider than the table column...

Try making the text box about half its current size and see if that helps.

Justin,

No, I have not updated versions of NS since I put up that page. But I will certainly try your suggestion of setting the text box smaller.

I will post the result here, either way.

Thanks.

I knocked the textbox from 40 characters down to 25 characters. Still doesn't work in NS.

Anyone have other ideas? Can help?

Oh, heck. The whole page simply appears to be broken. Even in IE, the form doesn't appear to actually function. I filled in a test e-mail and clicked on the submit button and nothing.

Could the new CNC changes to ezMLM lists have caused any of this? (apologies Justin...I just don't know why else my page would have broken.)

<sigh> I guess I'm going to have to re-write the page from scratch. Seems to be the only way.

Sheila, it seemed to be that the form closing tag was misplaced???? Anyway after I chnaged it it worked fine for me in NS 4.7.
Here is the html:
<td>Three mailing lists are offered, one corresponding to each of the courses
Mrs. King teaches. These are announcement only lists. Mrs. King will post
announcements of such things as homework assignments, tests, dates when
progress reports have been distributed, when corrected tests have have
been returned, and so forth.&amp;nbsp;
