I'm prefectly happy with the way it looks on Blinky's lappy at 800x600, with the
exception of the horizontal scroll bar. When you scroll down in FF and Opera,
you'll not see text going off the right side of page, yet the scroll bar is
there. Then there is IE which lets the text run off the page, with no
Horizontal scroll bar.
Perhaps the way the link colors blend in with blue Dings logo bug me too. I
think I'll make a bgcolor for hovered-over links , then I'll be satisfied there.
My goal with relative positioning was to have elements evenly spaced across the
page in a variety of screen sizes.
Thanks for your insights, still don't get why the probs width-wise. Ctrl+A
shows nothing off to the right, why scroll bar?
