That's not so good. So I went on freakin': jigsawing new css in the testpage, learning from trial and error ;-) . Now in theory the width was o.k., I could have a better look at the possible height-variants. Developing new versions ... for the recycle bin. But after all, all of a sudden, some light in darkness. See new testpage <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/cj-background-nw4a.htm>. Now the footer is real footer, everything fixed position on screen, and soft scrolling through the content. From 640x480 (!) to 1280x1024 anyway, and font sizing allowed. Both validators happy. Me too.
Yippy..., eh, ho! This was only Firefox. You guess: IE a mess... Some more trials, errors and filling reclycling bin: found a workaround as in this testpage <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/cj-background-nw2d.htm> (for IE, Opera and Netscape6). - Validators still happy. It is all rough material: inline styles, not cleaned up, and not combined in an universal stylesheet with appriopriate hacks and so. Don't know if you can use some of it (because of frogs and deadlines), but thought you may be interested to see. Anyway I've amused experimenting. :-) Aha, while checking the testpages after uploading, I believe FF can handle the IE-version too! Minor differences as not completely showing the top-right image (should be some margin-padding thing), but no time for further investigating. You said: "i always seem to need the impossible don't i? :) " Ï think a can agree: I like that. Man has to be superior to the machine! francky ps: the javascript was just an idea; indeed sniffing at browsers can get you sneezy due to all the different availWidth-definitions. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
