Using IE 6.0 and resolution on Windows at 1024 X 768, I get a horizontal scroll bar on "Help Overseas", "Help in Australia", "Overseas Aid", and Tsunami "Information". Hope this helps. Mary Ann

The website is TsunamiAssist - http://www.tsunamiassist.gov.au. It is meant to give an overall view of the Government's response to the tsunami disaster, with links to other sites with more information. I developed this site extremely quickly - basically overnight, with some extra time devoted to our people checking the content which was basically written by me too! I have only checked it out on IE5.5 and Firefox, the only two browsers on my laptop. The XHTML and CSS validates, and it seems to do OK in some accessibility checking tools I used. Because I had to work so fast, I didn't have any time to hunt out my normal resources - books, etc - and I know I failed at some things and can't for the life of me remember how to do them. They include: 1. How do you get IE to handle font sizes in tables properly? I have set the font-size in the BODY to 76% but of course IE renders the text in any subsequent TDs back up to 100%. I know this can be fixed but don't want to resort to a hack. 2. I have run into a problem with 100% width DIVs inside other DIVs. Depending on which way I code it, either IE or Firefox expands the containing DIV out to be wider than the screen when I put a 100% wide DIV inside the containing DIV. What exactly is the right way to specify widths of DIVs to get this to happen. Of course, this also rears its head when a 100% wide table is inserted in the containing DIV. Again, I could fix this with a hack but don't really want to. Of course, any other comments or suggestions about the site are more than welcome; of course, content is really not in my hands as others are now writing and approving it. I will be periodically updating the site during the weekend as the situation changes, so if you have any suggestions I will try to fix the site up along the way - and if you find a problem, a solution would be really handy too! Thanks for you help. If I don't respond quickly, it's just because I am taking some time to look away from a screen for a while.
