Quick Tips

I frequently get questions about pages that seem to work fine in IE, but end up not showing anything in Netscape or other browsers. Almost every time it ends up being a missing </table> tag or some other client side issue.

When you're writing ASP scripts, it's easy to forget that there's more than ASP involved in getting a web page working.

There are two really helpful tools to help troubleshoot this type of thing:

1. The View Source function of most browsers
2. The World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) HTML Validation Service

Both of these can help you make short work of HTML errors and get back to fixing any ASP problems you might have.
