UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.classic [Archived] UBB.classic Bugs 6.2.1.1 Netscape 4.79 enables HTML on font-resizing before "" [NOTABUG]

UD.COM </>

Example at:
http://forum.ud.com/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=18;t=000480

If I view this with Netscape 4.79 and chose "view->increase or decrease font" from the menu the above line will be displayed as link (and several other format changes happen).

We discussed some display issues of Netscape 4.79 in
http://forum.ud.com/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=5;t=002149;p=2
I quoted a "
" from the html-source there.

Perhaps the
is the reason for the display issues itself.

Btw. is there a reason why there is no line something like this "< !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> on the pages? Would be easier for
http://validator.w3.org/ then. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Works just fine for me, that's really strange... <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Whack-fa-la-de-rab!

The UBB is starting to use CSS to size the fonts in use.

Netscape 4 has a number of flaws... okay - it can't render CSS reliably if its life depended on it.

Things get even more nutty when you re-render the page, i.e. by resizing your window or by resizing the fonts.

NS4 really has no CSS support at all - it reads the CSS then translates that into its own internal styling methods (controlled through Javascript - every wonder why turning off JS turned off CSS as well? <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> )...

... and when the page re-renders, Javascript isn't re-executed. Ooops. All the CSS styling that was done through Javascript handlers just got thrown out the window.

This is an NS4 issue, not a UBB issue. It can not be fixed on our end.

Use Mozilla. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
