Looks like it's back to school for that web master.

I started having a problem today looking at certian web pages. They will not display properly. Mostly the "buttons" will not show up correctly. For instance on aircar.com the selctions on the left hand side will not show up. Same thing on airwis.com the buttons on the left hand side do not display properly and can not be selected. Tried changing text size but makes no difference.

Thanks for your help. I appreciate your input. Why can other computers use these web sites without probelms and I can not? Had to set text size to Medium to get aircar.com working on other computer but on this one that does not fix it. No luck with airwis.com. Can you navigate these web sites without probelms? I am using an older Pentium III 550 with win 98 se 256mb ram.
There are standards, but some don't care to follow such. In fact some web sites just don't work with what the majority of browsers people may use.
The site did seem to work with Mozilla, but not IE versions 5.5 and 6.0
Which is why I point a HTML checker at the site and that explained it.

it's a (pleasant) switch to see a site that works in Mozilla and not IE. It's usually the other way around because someone used a proprietary IE feature. ![]()
Thanks to all for your input. So I guess there is nothing I can do to fix the problem in IE 6 on my computer correct? Also (showing my lack of computer skills here but..) what is Mozila? Is it another browser that I can dowload for free?
In fact, there are two programs: plain Mozilla (like Netscape, a combination of browser and e-mail client) and Mozilla Firebird (only browser, no e-mail).
The e-mail part of plain Mozilla has evolved into a separate e-mail client, called Mozilla Thunderbird.
I like the browser. I didn't yet try the e-mail client. I share Outlook Express with my wife and she might be reluctant to change without apparent good reason. But if there is a good reason, I'm inclined to try it also.
It's all open source, and free, and if you feel like it, you can help to make it still better. But you must be an experienced PC-programmer to do so, I think.
