My solution (which is icky and will soon be changed) is to use Urgh! I knew it did, but not that it was that bad.. : JavaScript to make Netscape load a 'corrective' stylesheet and other : browsers load the 'normal' one. (In other words, non-JavaScript browsers : don't get it. But my site counter says I've only had one nonJavaScript, and : I think that was me.) My solution has generally been to use style sheets to enhance the appearance, but to make sure things work even without them. There are a lot of people using older bowser that don't understand them, after all. It almost seems as if people had just now stopped upgrading their browsers every time a new beta came out.. :) -- . _, .. j u s t. h o w l.i n g i n .t h e n.i g h t .. ._, . , )'' . /\_ .
