Question
I am running into a problem with Netscape users. On certain pages they see the HTML tags and all. They would see this: html> h5>This is a test </h5 /html> instead of this:This is a test
I omitted the first pieces of the HTML tags in the first example to give you a better idea as to what Netscape users see. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this problem? I have tried saving the problem pages to the desktop and reopening them locally ... the pages open fine and look the way they are supposed to. This leads me to believe that the pages are correct syntactically. Thanks.- TWiki version: 20001201

Question: What is special about those pages?. Is that information surrounded by
<verbatim> tags?. Are the <html> </html> part of the page itself?.
-- EdgarBrown - 11 Apr 2001 Question/Answer: The pages I am having trouble with are some of the same pages included with the TWiki package. For example TWikiPreferences page attached. However, the WebPreferences page works fine. There are some other pages that I am having trouble with as well, but the TWikiPreferences example is a good place to start. Thanks for your help! -- SteveBarr - 12 Apr 2001
Answer
Am I correctly guessing that you don't have the same problem when you see the pages in this TWiki.org wiki?. I am also guessing that this happens every time you see the same pages. Your pages seem fine in my instalation, so my best guesses are:- Netscape has a bug we haven't heard of, I'm currently using comunicator 4.7 under Solaris, and it seems fine (it has quite some bugs, but this is not one of them).
- There is something wrong with one of your %VARIABLE% definitions (probably in the wikicfg.pm file), I would check if any of the variables is common to several of the faulty pages. Netscape is quite picky with the code it renders, so a small error could cause the page to be useless (or blank sometimes).
Did this issue get resolved. Reason for asking is that we started seeing the same problem. A topic that works perfectly fine under IE would not render in Netscape 4. You see the document type line at the top with type "text" (which normally tells the browser to render the page), followed by the mandatory newline, followed by the HTML code for the page, but not rendered. This happens after some redirects, but I cannot see the difference between the cases where it happens and where it does not... -- ThomasWeigert - 30 Apr 2003
