Okay...tomorrow's a holiday, so I'm going to spend the day coughing up a new template for adreamofsky. I personally love it, but then I use IE 6, which supports the CSS2 standard more fully than any current iteration of Netscape, Opera, Mozilla, or whatever. And since the "overflow-y: auto" attribute is pretty central to this design, I'm just going to ditch it and start again. People with crappy browsers keep telling me that my tables are broken, and that just won't do. UPDATE: Changed my mind. I've done some looking around, and things like nested tables and cells with "overflow:auto" styles are common template design features. Sure, nested tables are poo-pooed by the W3C, but the "overflow:auto" attribute is solidly inside the CSS2 standard. Style sheets are the wave of the future, kids. Are you still reading by the light of a kerosene lamp? No? Well then you might consider updating your browser as well. So...IE4 - IE6 for Windows should work fine. Netscape 6 for Windows usually works fine. Netscape 4 for Windows does not. IE 4 for Mac does not. IE 5 for Mac does...kinda...sometimes. Nested tables are too hard for its pointy little brain to grasp. Opera 5 doesn't work. Opera 7 reportedly does. Safari does not. So, if my page looks all fucked up to you...well, that's a function of your browser, not of my code. I haven't used any non-standard extentions of the current CSS or HTML specifications. Style Sheets are the future of the Web. Write the company that made your browser, and ask why they don't more fully support the CSS standards. Okay, enough grouchy ranting. More fun tomorrow! Happy Juneteenth....
