Subject:CSS and JavaScript across IE and Netscape From:John Renish <John_F_Renish -at- NOTES -dot- SEAGATE -dot- COM> Date:Thu, 25 Feb 1999 10:43:40 -0800
Cross-posted to get the widest audience of HTML wizards:
We need to make a large group of PowerPoint presentations available on an
intranet. Office 97's HTML engine is less than satisfactory, and
hand-coding, except for minor tweaks, is not feasible. Office 2000's HTML
engine makes a truly seamless and pixel-perfect translation for IE4, but
some portions of the CSS and JavaScript generated in the process are not
Netscape 4-compatible, which they must be for our environment. Has anyone
in such a situation developed a satisfactory method of accommodating
Netscape, preferably while still accommodating IE?
What, exactly, must be done? Because replies are likely to be longish,
please reply off-list, and I'll post a compendium.
Thanks,
