Alan: if you don't mind, a few questions about this code? I've been
tinkering and entering what you supplied above a line at a time to
get a feel for what each bit does.
Why'd you go with width: 770px? I was thinking my smallest likely
monitor would be 1024, and if they had a larger monitor and could
widen that, THEN they'd see the lighter background to either side.
Just wondering if yours was an aesthetics decision or had some other
code-based reason?
Also, the *html .livebar bit....that is IE-specific, I'm getting,
but how does one even know what to drop in there? I guess years of
getting knuckles scraped by Explorer? Or, is there a repository of
such things?
Thank you and the others for helping me on this problem. It's been a
huge education!
John
