    multiple forms

    It's posible to do this without making javascript create elements on the fly by using layering, and using javascript to simply modify their z-indexes. This method would use a lot less code, and be easier to modify. ----------------------- "It's lonely at the top, but you eat better.&quot...

    multiple forms

    Forms really SHOULD NOT be nested... Why do you need to nest them at all? ----------------------- "It's lonely at the top, but you eat better." -- Unknown

    <font> tag and PDA

    You say it completely ignores font tags?? Hmm... Maybe this means it follows the most recent html specs? *hopes* In more recent html versions, the font tag is actually not legal markup, thus if the PDA is conforming to the specifications for one of these versions it would ignore it completely...

    CSS - Stretching Backgroung Image??

    How are you stretching it with HTML?? As far as I know, there is no way to actually 'stretch' (as in reproportion) an image that is set as a background. However, depending on the content of the image you are using, it may be appropriate to tile it -- that is, cause it to repeat itself over and...

    Tif images

    Most browsers also support PNG files. ----------------------- "It's lonely at the top, but you eat better." -- Unknown

    Full width

    gah! sorry about the multi-post.. I got an error message the first time and thought it didn't go through! ----------------------- "It's lonely at the top, but you eat better." -- Unknown

    <font> tag and PDA

    hmmm... try putting the <font> tags outside of the <a> tags...? Just a guess; sometimes it turns out to be simple, inconsequential things like that :) I don't know what kind of things a PDA's browser would support.. For example, it's possible to set the link colour using javascript, but would...

    Full width

    Are you meaning one table row that spans the entire width while the other rows do not? Or do you simply want the whole table to be stretched across the screen width? Stretching an entire table is as simple as specifying &quot;width='100%'&quot; within the <table> tag. If you want one row to...

    IFRAME or same function

    I don't know about old NN compatibility, but the div method is still better than using a script to pick between <ilayer> and <iframe>. The reason? Well, if the browser does not support the necessary CSS to make the div block scroll, the worst it can do is spit out the contents without...

    CSS Problems with A:Link

    Make sure that's a space between .classname and A:whatever.. (you have a period in your last post) ----------------------- &quot;To the small part of ignorance that we arrange and classify we give the name 'knowledge'&quot; -- Ambrose Bierce

    CSS Problems with A:Link

    Yes, you can use classes if you want! You just need to fix the way you've used them in your CSS. Instead of using &quot;A.backgroundtext:(whatever)&quot;, use: &quot;.backgroundtext A:(whatever)&quot; This ordering tells the browser that the A tags need to be within your div that has the...

    IFRAME or same function

    You can also acheive your desired effect using CSS (and it will work in both NN and IE!). Simply put the content you want scrolled in between <div> tags, and set the height, width, and overflow for the block. Here's an example: ///// CSS part /////// <style type=&quot;text/css&quot;> #scrolled...

    Style Sheets that are less then all inclusive

    You'll have to set the properties you want for the tables, lists, etc. seperately. This isn't how it is supposed to work according to specification, but that's how today's browsers do it. I think the reason is that the browser does not use the &quot;inherit&quot; value as the default for...

    Form fields

    Try moving the code from your style attribute into a CSS header, like this <style type=&quot;text/css&quot;> input { background-color:#000; border:1px solid #ccc } </style> Put it within the <head> tags at the start of your HTML. I know for sure that this works in Mozilla... What version of...

    detecting XSLT capable browsers

    I am working on a project that uses XML formatted by XSLT. If possible, we want the user's browser to recieve the XML and process it itself using the necessary XSLT files, since this will relieve a lot of strain on our server. However, the server is also capable of processing the XML itself in...

    portorait printing

    Actually, according W3C specifications, you should set the printing properties using an @page selector. For example: <style type=&quot;text/css&quot;> @page { size:landscape; margin:4cm } </style> As you can see above, you can use the &quot;margin&quot; property on @page just as you would...

    How to cope up with different resolution of the browser?

    So, it's just a problem with the generated content wrapping before you want it to, and looking ugly because of it? If so, perhaps you could try wrapping your generated output in a table structure with the attribute &quot;nowrap&quot; set. Like this...: <table> <tr><td nowrap> <!-- Your...

    Netscape = slow. IE = fast

    Though I hate to say it, yes, Netscape is actually slower in a lot of cases - under windows at least. I personally believe this is largely due to IE's integration with the Windows operating environment. However, when displaying properly made HTML pages (ie. those that use only public standard...

    How to add Scrollbars in atable?

    CSS provides rules that allow you to specify how to deal with overflow of content - including adding scrollbars. Unfortunately, this is not yet supported in the context of tables with current browsers. However, if you set the width of your table explictly, it should stay that size no matter...
