Hello!

I asked a friend to make a more netscape navigator-compatible site for me and he told me that would be now problem with "Netscape Composer"...
well, the first I saw was that although this tool seems to be from netscape it can not even manage WYSIWYG for netscape 4++

the next I saw was that the size of my main page suddenly went from 40k(ie version, the original file) to 75k(netscape version)...
I know that does not seem to be much but 35kb are 7-10 secs more loading time.

Then I opened the html source in a text editor and saw what this evil tool did:

<font color="#000000"><font size="-1"><font face="Verdana">text</font></font></font>

got it? http://adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif
and thats not all, it added cryptic enhancements to all tables (somewhere it uses 3 tables while only 1 was enough...)

so, what can I do now?!
Updating all the html by hand is a real pain in the ass http://adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/frown.gif

Get Dreamweaver and use the "clean html feature" it will fix most of it, but you will still have to recenter tables and such and check your java codes as they may get wiped out.
