Thanks to you and Roger.

Warren HTML is an evolving specification. What your old browser knows of HTML 4.01 and style sheets is likely wrong and/or incomplete, hence the poor rendering. Style sheets are here to stay -- they obviate the need for much of the formatting that litters older HTML code. As more web programmers migrate to the new specification, more web pages will fail to render correctly in older browsers. The fix, for you, is to update to a current web browser. I recommend Mozilla. Mozilla is the browser upon which the latest Netscape is based. With Mozilla, you'll get the best browser sans the commercial trappings of its Netscape derivative. Once you've experience the tabbed browsing features of Mozilla, you'll never look back. A Mozilla hint: Set preferences so that your middle mouse button (mouse wheel depress) opens a new tab in Mozilla when clicked on a link. Also, set preferences to load new tabs in the background. Another great feature in Mozilla is pop-up control, either globally or on a per-site basis. Don't like that pop-up? Simple, right click it and select "Disallow pop-ups from this site". Mozilla rocks. Don't let the mozilla web site confuse you, it's geared towards programmers and offers ancillary programs that you don't need. All you need is the latest stable release of Mozilla for your platform (Mozilla 1.4 as of this post). Look in the upper left hand corner for the correct download link. http://www.mozilla.org David O -- http://www.AirplaneZone.com |
