hello,

if your webpage passes the HTML validator and the CSS validator, your page will display fine in the blackberry.

http://validator.w3.org/

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

(good luck, it's hard the first time)

Hello,

it works perfectly on your pc browser because it is tolerant. The Blackberry browser is not. If you validate HTML and CSS, there will be no problem.

if you are interested, I have encountered these interesting cases.

This forum doesn't seem to let you go back one page of posts but, IIRC, you could select

the "prev" button until the image loaded ( again IIRC),

http://www1.investorvillage.com/smbd.asp?mb=160&clear=1&pt=m

 some pages on this site come up with an error message about " null div tag, this should be impossible":

http://www.glgroup.com

If you do a few searches here, I  this (largely text and a few small images) takes forever to render ( but even their desktop html has

become slow but I can't find the offender and they claim it is just my problem),

The latter case may be interesting as it seems to be a dynamic problem and may even pass a validator but still not

be practical.

I've tried these sites in the latest version of the BlackBerry Browser (4.6.0) in the BlackBerry Bold simulator and was not able to reproduce any of these issues.  So it looks like they have been fixed.
