Steve Gibons wrote: I have seen that in IE before. But I would imagine it has something to do with the style sheet, not the html code. Yes, that's correct. Microsoft's refusals to fully implement CSS and fix existing CSS bugs makes IE a very difficult browser to target. After all, some of the things IE doesn't support was defined almost 10 years ago... Actually, what I'm trying to do is to work around existing IE CSS bugs by take advantage of other IE bugs, but that seems to not work well with MacIE. Perhaps I need to disable the static menu to the left on MacIE. Best regards, Jari Williamsson ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Re: [Finale] Finaletips site - new design
From Jari Williamsson's site: http://www.finaletips.nu/perhapsmissed.php Since Finale 2002, you can align and resize hairpins (crescendi and diminuendi) to conform to the same position. Select multiple hairpins within the same staff (=horizontally) or measure (=vertically), display the contextual menu and select Align Horizontally or Align Vertically. Oh man! I can't believe I've gone this long without knowing this! I feel like someone who has just escaped from jail after 3 years only to realize the door was open the whole time.

There must be something in your HTML code that is incorrect. I have seen that in IE before. But I would imagine it has something to do with the style sheet, not the html code. IE is well-known (i.e., notorious) for its completely broken implementation of the so-called box model for layout with style sheets. Whereas the standards define the relationships between a box, it's margins and borders in one way, IE puts the margin/border settings in the wrong place (I forget the exact details). The result is that percentage settings for width or height for containers are incorrectly honored -- you can set a width of 100% for a container and you'll end up with a horizontal scrollbar. The same code/style will produce a correct result on all other browsers (it also works correctly on early versions of IE, up to IE5, I think). So, IE may be incorrectly calculating the vertical size in terms of the box model, and this is why the scrollbars do not appear until you resize the window to a size that is smaller than what IE incorrectly thinks the window's size really is. This is one of the myriad reasons why no one should be using IE for anything at all -- it's a pile of crap in comparison to any modern browser (IE is not a modern browser, as its rendering code does not reflect the last 5 years of W3C standards). -- David W.

Almost any other browser is preferable (I use Opera and Firefox). NS 4.x puts up a blank page or even crashes when you mix a linked stylesheet with inline styles. The easiest way around this is to use one or the other (linked style sheets are certainly a lot easier than inline styles). I try to code so that NS 4.x users get a readable view, but don't worry too much about how good it looks -- I'm only going for graceful degradation that allows the content to remain accessible. Support NS 4.x at that level does mean that you can't use CSS 3-column layouts using absolute positioning and a number of other things. But other than that, I don't spend a lot of time tweaking specifically for NS 4.x. Here's a hint for using separate style sheets for NS 4.x without needing to do browser detection: Use IMPORT, which is supported by all modern browsers, but ignored by NS 4.x: link href=styles_ns4.css rel=stylesheet type=text/css style type=text/css@import url(styles_w3c.css);/style The first will be honored by Netscape, and the latter will simply be ignored, as NS 4.x knows nothing about it. Then you'll put all styles that are supported by all browsers in you NS4.x stylesheet, and override those styles and add other styles in the W3C stylesheet. -- David W.
