netscape will not display php result

[Anon]

works fine in IE netscappe will not display the result from a php script that queries a mysql database to dynamically display a result into a standard html select type. The source shows the result and very standard looking html but will not display the option and submit objects. Please help me ,,, someone. thanks steve

run your site through here :

http://validator.w3.org/

fix html errors. most likely it has to do with an incomplete <table> so pay close attention to all related errors.

thanks for the message, I will try the validator, although there are no tables , its a function i am developing for a page right now the only objects in the body are a select and a submit. thanks, any more insight is welcome steve

Do you have <form> and </form>tags around the select and submit?

I have had similar problems a few times when palying around with php... It is so easy to forget them =)

tables are the "most common" issue, what's important is this is always (almost) an html issue, not PHP, so running through a html validator will help. browsers never see PHP.

btw, an example that could come up on the PHP side of things is for example some browsers do not produce HTTP_REFERER so if it were depended on ... it wouldn't work.

yes i do and it shows up perfect in the view source along with the appropriate output in the select option, but still doesn't display, i will take phillips advice and run it through the html checker and i will post results thanks steve
