Strange formatting behavior with Netscape 7.1???

Postby howdydooit » Sun 11 Jan, 2004 11:31 pm

I have a weird thing going on... I just installed Netscape on a new laptop
(windows XP, 1.4 GHz Pentium M, 512 MB RAM) and I have a weird formatting issue.

My start page is MyNetscape. Whereas I normally have 3 columns across when viewing from any other system, only on this laptop it displays the whole thing in one very long column. At first it was normal, but a day or two after installation, it changed. The formatting is driivng me nuts. (and strangely enough,... it is only one column in IE as well - but only on this machine).

Something I have never seen before: I have a line of html displayed on the top border of the page. It reads:
<0) "LEFT=0"; else "LEFT="+left; } else "LEFT=0"; } ; & { if (self.innerWidth<585) "WIDTH=585"; } ; WIDTH=98%TOP=0 ID="layerheader">

This line is at the top edge of the screen. It does not show itself in IE. When I go to my desktop, the page displays normally (3 columns across).

The only thing I can think of that is different from this system is that I installed the browser (only - no mail) from a flash drive, and it runs from that flash drive. IE is running from the hard drive, so I don't think it has anything to do with it.

Every other web site that I normally use (I imported the bookmarks from my desktop system) work exactly as normal.
