netscape 4.7 wont find page

[bobmurphy]

i am rebuilding a website and decided to view a page on an old NN 4.7 but it wont let me -- the link views on IE 6 NN6 and Moz 1.4 -- why not in NN4.7 -- it gives me a 404 error !!!

i tried to see a different page then and it gives me a message about permissions -- i use filezilla to FTP but i never messed about with setting the permissions

if anyone knows what's going on then i'd appreciate the assistance as i'd hate to abandon people who still use 4.7

the link is www.oneweekofdays.com/testerfolder/master/index.html

valid code would help

wherever you have an element like <meta> which doesn't have a corresponding </meta> tag in (x)html (cos there isn't one - this includes stuff like <br> etc) the you need

<meta etc />

Note the space before the /. NN4.7 may then display your page. You need to get it valid, as it has an error on your first meta tag.

It should then work in NN4.7. Fingers crossed.

tried that but it wouldn't work ?? any ideas

1) you need spaces before the closing / on those.

2) Try an 8 character file name like

week.htm

(drop the l off the extension in case it's that.)

ok I've tested the saved original file on mine and it displays but screws up the position of the stuff. I don't have NN4.7 on the internet. Try testing it locally.

got it -- actually the browser was giving the 404 because one of the stylesheets i had linked in was not in the directory - ---- anyway now i get to see how badly the code renders in nn4.7 -- and it's not too good - but that's another days work -- thanks for your help
