Netscape 7.1 vs. Yahoo

Postby John N » Sat 14 Aug, 2004 4:51 pm

Don't know what happened to my Yahoo mail page. The graphics look strange. If you display the same page with IE it looks "normal".

Noticed other select pages have changed also.

Any clues?

I bet Yahoo has re-written their mail pages using bad HTML, that will only look good in IE. But, if it's just the images (how they look, not where they are on the page or their size), it's possible that your GIF parser was corrupted, although extremely unlikely.

I would not be surprised if Yahoo did something funny, but it looks fine in Moz1.7.2. If there is any other page, please give the URL.

Thanks for the response.

Went back and unblocked all cookies. The page has returned to normal. Will have to find which cookie apparently changed the page.
