[SCCC] IE9 / Firefox compatibility in N6NB.com

[Cliff K3LL]

I'll take a look a bit later tonight, but you might want to check out...

Also, some of the older HTML tags have been deprecated (fancy way of saying
discontinued), so being NS 4.0 compatible might be biting you.

It's interesting that these compatibility 
issues have come up now.  I spent most of the 
weekend revising my web site and trying to get 
it to look the same in IE and Firefox, not 
to mention Safari and Chrome.

I'm NO programmer.  I was using only HTML 
features supported by Netscape 4.0 (an ancient 
version).  All I really wanted was for the 
columns to align the same way in all browsers.
I never got there.  When IE looks okay, there's 
extra space at the top and bottom of the left 
column in Firefox.  If I fix that, it gets 
messed up in IE.

This is the website that has a lot of 30-year-old 
photos of SCCC members, among other content.  I 
guess I'd like for the appearance not to detract 
too much from the content.

It's at www.n6nb.com.  If anyone who knows HTML  
could look at the code and identify what is 
causing these spacing issues, I'd be much obliged.

73,
Wayne, N6NB
