I am experiencing a very interesting bug. I have setup a site that employs the Squeak PWS and Swiki technologies. Anyhow, in Netscape 3.0 the pages in question are not rendered i.e. I get a blank page. The browser seems to locate and read the file since the html source is viewable and in apparent order but the browser just refuses to render the page.
IE 4.0 on the other hand does not have a problem at all with the same set of pages.
Here is the URL in question. The server is up most of the time and again appears fine with IE 4.0 :
http://www.ocit.com:8090/SwikiStug
In Netscape I get a blank page. However , if a view the document source the following is provided:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 3.0//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD>
<TITLE>Front Page</TITLE>
</HEAD> <BODY> <background="http://www.ocit.com/stug/_themes/technolo/tecbkgnd.gif" bgcolor="#669999" text="#000000" link="#990000" vlink="#333300" alink="#FF9900"><!--msnavigation--><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td><!--mstheme--><font face="arial, helvetica">

<p align="center"> </p>
<h2> NYC Smalltalk User's Group Swiki Demo </h2>
<p> <h2><a href="SwikiStug.1.searchresult">Front Page</a></h2> <p> <HR> Welcome to the Front Page! <br> <br>You will want to visit <a href="SwikiStug.2">Formatting Rules</a> to find out how to add things here. <br> <br>Other good things to see: <br> <ul> <li><a href="SwikiStug.recent">Recent Changes</a> (Sort of a chronologically-sorted Table Of Contents) <br> </ul> <br> <hr> <font size=-1> <br><a href="SwikiStug.1.edit">Edit this Page</a> <br><a href="SwikiStug.1.all">Display this Page and all its References</a> <br><a href="SwikiStug.1.searchresult">Search for References to this Page</a> <br><a href="SwikiStug.1">Back to the Top</a> <HR> <FORM ACTION="SwikiStug.searchresult" METHOD=POST>

</font> </BODY> </HTML>
The only differece between this document and the standard file that is supplied with the PWS and Swiki demos is that I have added a scrolling marquee and other minor variations.
If anybody understands why this is occuring and how it may be corrected please let me know.
Thanks.

Check <TABLE> and </TABLE> mismatches in the generated code, 95% of page no shows on Netscape is due to them

In Netscape I get a blank page.
Also, the page appears when you try to edit it (in Netscape4.0) but only 56% of the page is loaded ???

If you check the rest (I am not resending it) you'll see there is no </table> - in fact there is a <tr><td> but no </td> </tr>. If you add </td></tr></table> in somewhere (but be careful where. not in the middle of the form, for example) you should see it work in netscape too.
