Thread: postgres Web problem
Hi, I'm a little bit confused with http://www.postgresql.org 1. Netscape 3.04 totally unusable to browse postgres site - I see only text of javascript 2. Lynx works better, but still when select "Info Central" I see nothing ! Also, don't forget ALT="" for inline images (not href's) - documents will look much better in Lynx or browser with images disabled. ┘I understand that most users move touse new browsers but it's good tradition (not Microsoft) to support (if possible) old browsers.

This is the first problem I've heard like you describe. If all works well we'll need to determine which mirror that's having problems. Vince. > > 1.

Using Netscape 4.07 from Win95. index.html is alright but I get some garbage in the top left hand corner of the info central page (left of the main elephant, above the frames tree).

Using NetPositive under BeOS I get the various buttons seperated and skewed. I'll look into it and see if I can figure out exactly what is wrong, but there could be a strange table in there.

Well, the HTML source for that FRAME is erroneous, as is normal on the web these days, but it's not that. My guess is you've turned off the javascript misfeature, which, possibly combined with the HTML errors and/or the no less than four comment conventions used in that little snippet of code, is confusing Netscape. Incidentally, in the RDBMS comparison chart (whose URL I can't quote, because of the FRAME stuff), PostgreSQL is shown as lacking row level locking. Change to "supported" and add a footnote, someone? -tih -- Popularity is the hallmark of mediocrity. --Niles Crane, "Frasier"

Change to "supported" and add a footnote, someone? The comparison is still for 6.4.2, it needs to be updated.
