Funny Bug Fix

Hello,

Sometimes, for an unknown reason, refreshing your page
on IE5 Mac will make the layout ignore the body margins
that were set to 0. You just see a large space on top and
left.

I discovered that inserting this:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript1.2&quot;>
<!--
// End -->
</SCRIPT>

above the body tag will fix the problem! (if you already
have a javascript in the page the bug won't show up)
Funny, isn't it?

OK.
Go to and refresh the page several times on IE5 MAC.
Then, go to and do the same.

First page:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC &quot;-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN&quot;>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body background=&quot;bg_left.gif&quot; topmargin=&quot;0&quot; leftmargin=&quot;0&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot;>
<img src=&quot;logo.gif&quot; width=&quot;122&quot; height=&quot;58&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;>
</body>
</html>

Second page:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC &quot;-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN&quot;>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript1.2&quot;>
<!--
// End -->
</SCRIPT>
<body background=&quot;bg_left.gif&quot; topmargin=&quot;0&quot; leftmargin=&quot;0&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot;>
<img src=&quot;logo.gif&quot; width=&quot;122&quot; height=&quot;58&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;>
</body>
</html>


Tell me what you think.

I don't have IE5 but topmargin and leftmargin are not standard to HTML3.2 (it is an IE only feature) so that could be part of what causes the bug. Gary Haran
