Re: [TCLUG:4371] SHTML question.

[Sandipan Panigrahi <pani@frontiernet.net>]

Netscape can be very picky about your html syntax. Anyway here
is what I found :

1. There is a <table><tr><td> tag which doesnot end. i.e. the
   table is incomplete. So unless you have a </td></tr></table>
   nothing will show.
   Remove the lines that contain the table tags and you will be fine

2. Make sure you put a </body> and </html> at the end. I am not
   sure if anything will break if you donot but you should.

3. I do not remember if the <li> list tag needs to be ended with
   a </li>. You could check that out.

explorer on the other hand is not so particular about the html
syntax.

Hope this helps,
sandipan
