But, trying to make a site be 100% validated, 100% style sheet validated, designed with CSS and few tables for modern browsers and work for older clients all at the same time is a tough task. Something has to give somewhere. And as Allan's last few posts showed, even my Win98 and IE5 looks differently than his Win98 and IE5. Enough to drive someone crazy. Just wait for mod_perl 2.0 to come out and people complain that they can't use 2.0 features with their mod_perl 1.12. ;) The site has been working fine for NS4 for a while. Like I said, maybe we can go to a trimmed down style sheet for NS4 that doesn't cause it to crash and use the @import trick to load it for NS4 browsers. Or go back to the style sheet a few days ago, as I think it was working then. The problem, as I saw today, NS4's crashing is not consistent, and that might not be all of NS4's fault. (I have a graphics program on Windows that wont's start without first minimizing all my open windows.) >Most likely Allan's suggestions of using tables for formatting were the >wisest ones and would have saved a lot of grief. I think I was in that debate, too. ;) -- Bill Moseley mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
