And you get funny things like the I told you the other day, Cliff. I have a frameset with the left frame being set to 135 pixels wide. The right is relative in size. Now you'd think any frames-capable browser could intrepret and measure out 135 pixels correctly. But no, Netscape seems to think that when you say 135 pixels you really mean 136 if the browser isn't maximised. If it is maxed it thinks you mean 134. How hard can it be to get it right??? As an age-old Navigator user (I still have the Navigator 0.9beta disk at home..... shyeah, ONE disk...... now you need a Zip!), I've become disheartened a bit with it. -----== Posted via Deja News, The Leader in Internet Discussion ==----- http://www.dejanews.com/ Now offering spam-free web-based newsreading
