My template is void of "hard coded" template colors. I use a pure stylesheet setup. It works with Netscape 4.x through 7.2 and all other major browsers. Rounded corners work fine. Take a look: http://mail.wingnet.net Click on Webmail (New Look). User ID: template-test Passwd: test I _did_ have to do quite a bit of cludgework to make various browsers happy though. For example, Netscape 4.x didn't like the default HTML 4 DTD, so I ripped them all out and replaced them with HTML 3.2 DTDs. That worked for Netscape 4.x and most other major browsers, but then I noticed that Netscape 6.2 started messing up the rounded corner jpgs, so I removed the DTDs entirely (actually, I created an [#:include: #} for them and made it blank) and that seems to work great across ALL browsers. Also, transparent gifs will NOT work in Netscape 4.x for the corners. I had to use jpgs. It's complicated. And I had to put a lot of otherwise totally unnecessary and excessive CLASS tags on TDs and TRs to get the style to filter down properly for Netscape 4.x. But really the only complaint I have is that there is still a bunch of hard coded CGI HTML that you can't change without patching the source. I'm currently working on a patch to fix that though. -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.
