Thanks for that. I obviously expected the client area or canvas or whatever 
it's currently called, to expand to include those borders (with a vertical 
scroll-bar). As the border is only temporary, it's not really a problem.

Yes, it wouldn't make much sense to have the menu scroll off screen or to have 
the backgound image run away. Until now, we have kept them in place by 
specifying bgProperties=fixed on the body tag, which is a non-standard 
attribute. I'm pleased not to need it in the current version.

I have no idea how to accommodate those with minute screens. My Blackberry has 
a 5.0 x 4.7 cm screen and a web browser. I have found no use for it. Perhaps 
for displaying a list of stock quotations. But what else? Even if I were able 
to scroll the menu and see all entries, I wouldn't know how to select anything 
with no cursor. I'm afraid I'll have to be fresh enough, or perhaps unpleasant 
enough, to say that the site is not compatible with toy screens.

Thanks for your help.  Bruce
