Hello,

A person who was interested in my site, http://users.tijd.com/fiwi, told me
she could not use the buttons at the top of the page.
She tells me : "Netscape 4.7 does NOT work with your website".

The code behind the button is
<button onClick="document.location.href='us_bastogne/Index.htm'"
style="color: #FFFF00; background-color: #996633; width=100">
Bastogne...</button>

This works fine in Internet Explorer, and I wonder if other Netscape users
are having the same trouble.

I also use a CSS with these properties on buttons :
BUTTON
{
BORDER-RIGHT: 1pt solid;
BORDER-TOP: 1pt solid;
FONT-SIZE: 8pt;
BORDER-LEFT: 1pt solid;
BORDER-BOTTOM: 1pt solid;
FONT-STYLE: normal;
FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Arial, Helvetica
}

Can anyone tell me if they experience these same problems in Netscape
Navigator and if they do, how to resolve the problem please ?

Thanks,

Phil

I think I might use a one-row table with some formatting instead + url's.
Thanks for helping.
