You are out of your depth on this one. The problems with IE are fundamental errors with page geometry and how different page elements interact. It has nothing to do with "scripts and Flash" except that some developers use Flash as a way to avoid MS's bugs. Getting CSS to work properly would be a great boon to professional web authoring and save businesss a peck of dough. For example... http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/peekaboo.html "A liquid box has a float inside, and content that appears along side that float. All is well, until it's viewed in IE6. "Wah? Where's my content?!" You reload the page, and nothing. When you scroll down, or perhaps switch to another window, upon returning to the 'scene of the crime' there it all is, fat 'n sassy! "Note: This long standing bug has been suppressed in IE7 (released in late 2006), so the Peekaboo Bug is finally on the way out. IE6 will still exist however, and as long as it does we'll need to fix it. "This effect may turn up in a number of different contexts. We would try to list them here, but the page would become very long, and make our heads hurt." ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
