Randy let's side-step the comment "garbage" for just a second OK? Let's concentrate on mature comments for
just a second. "Poorly written" HTML would have been more appropriate wouldn't you say? Less inflamatory
maybe???
Maybe, I just call them as I see them. And any page that can't get past
the DTD Declaration is garbage.
To that end the HTML is written nearly to specs. It is not perfect I grant
you that. But it is that way so my HTML editor won't complain. It should
still work (and does for others this is not the only place I have posted this).
If you are not using either IE 5.5 or IE 6 then I cannot do anything. The
page is NOT designed for any other browser but those.
If thats the only way your editor won't complain is an invalid DTD, then
you need a new editor. But if its written for "either IE5.5 or IE6.0",
why are you using NN4.xx code? if (document.layers)
As for "written nearly to specs", there are way too many IE-only things
in that page for it to even be close to the specs.
And learn to code cross-browser, and you won't have to put up notes like
"This site is for IE only". I am referring to the page that the really
small cube links to.
The image is there. Right now it is just a spacer. A blank image 1KB in
jpeg format. This is to help with those using dial-up. You can use the
slider at the top left to resize the image to get the window horizontal
scrollbar to appear. If you are using security to disable your JavaScripting
or whatever then again not much I can do about that.
There is no image for me. But the dial-up wasn't the issue. I am on a
cable connection.
We can see in IE 6 and IE 5.5 the navigation divs; the top one (above the image)
navigates to home or the bottom of the page; the bottom one (below the image)
navigates to a cube, home, a "block (in the center), and top. These two divs
should scroll with the window horizontal scroll bar when it is scrolled to
the right. IE 5.5 does do it. IE 6 does not.
That would be a CSS issue, not a JS issue. Try
comp.info.www.authoring.stylesheets
The "block" should not drop when the mouse is held over it. It stays put
in IE 5.5. It does NOT in IE 6. In IE 6 it drops down about 10px. It is the
realative positioning I believe that is causing this in IE 6. It has to be
relative for as you can tell the image can be redimensioned and the bottom
navigation div must stay in the relative position it is in to the image.
Hope this helps clarify a little what is going on here. Thanks for your input.
Part of the IE6 issue is going to be a quirks-mode issue, and some is
pure IE6 issues. But both are CSS issues. One possible JS hack is to use
absolute position and as the image is resized, reset the positioning of
anything you want below the resized image.

Randy let me just recap my comments about the cross-browser issue.
It's not that I think Microsoft IE is the only browser out there. It is the
most commonly used and that may change over time. I understand that.
But right now they have 70% of the market and I am familiar with its DOM.
Netscape has quit with Layers. So right there I have two browser versions
to consider 4.8 and 6+ Then of course the Open Source one Mozilla, Firefox and
Opera. All of which we are talking 30% of the market.
My site I made a descision is just too user specific for me to spend the kind of time
on it makeing it compatible with all of them. I can experiment do cool things and have fun with
IE implemenation. I know it better. But here's the crux of the matter.
These other browsers except Mozilla are advertisement driven. Netscape has made me
angry. I do not like installing that and being inundated with AOL crap. The Opera browser unless
paid for is advertisement central. What that means to me is crapware strewn around my
system. Download accelerators; free Casino games; dancing naked girls on my desktop; Instant Messengers;
Mail I don't use; and finally the conflict between Mozilla and Netscape on the same system.
So if I could test cross-browser I would but as the cross-browser requirement requires I install
headaches on my system that's not in the cards as it stands now.
