Thread: Bad HTML in Mail List Archives
Is it just me, or are the mail list archives still generating HTML that's missing close table tags, so the pages cannot be viewed on Linux Netscape 4.78? cjs -- Curt Sampson <cjs@cynic.net> +81 90 7737 2974 http://www.netbsd.org Don't you know, in this new Dark Age, we're all light. --XTC

soon?

K, I think I got them all ... please test and let me know URL that you find wrong, so that I can use that one for testing ... On Thu, 18 Jul 2002, Marc G.

Individual messages still aren't showing, eg http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2002-07/msg00756.php regards, tom lane

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2001-03/msg00965.php
still doesn't work for me.
It might be worth putting the pages through an HTML validator.

Okay, I just regenerated everything from the raw files ... can you test the below link and let me know if its *cross fingers* fixed :( On Thu, 18 Jul 2002, Tom Lane wrote: > "Marc G.

Hi Marc, Rats... Regarding the URL: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2002-07/msg00756.php Netscape 4.79 on Windows doesn't like it (blank page). :( Mozilla 1.1a on Windows is ok with it.

Looking at the source of that page, I see an html/head/title followed by another html/head/title declaration. Also AFAICT there are two open table tags and only one close table tags, and I don't see a close center tag for the tag opened after body. If I had to guess, I'd say it's the missing end table tag that's hoarking up NS4.7.

Same here. Eyeballing the html source, it still looks like the <table>
environment isn't being closed out.

Well, the w3c doesn't like it.

Netscape 4.79 returns blank page, but Opera 6.0 B2 reads it just fine. Don "Marc G.

Okay, according to W3C's validator, this URL now appears to come out okay ... I'm once more regenerating them all from the raw files, which generally takes an hour or two, after which, let me know if there are any further ones that aren't being displayed properly :( On Sat, 27 Jul 2002, Justin Clift wrote: > Hi Marc, > > Rats... > > Regarding the URL: > > http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2002-07/msg00756.php > > Netscape 4.79 on Windows doesn't like it (blank page). :( > > Mozilla 1.1a on Windows is ok with it. > > Regards and best wishes, > > Justin Clift > > > "Marc G.

Thanks for fixing this! BTW, for others looking for an alternative to Netscape that's not bloated as Mozilla is, you might look at the graphical version of links: http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~clock/twibright/links/ cjs -- Curt Sampson <cjs@cynic.net> +81 90 7737 2974 http://www.netbsd.org Don't you know, in this new Dark Age, we're all light. --XTC
