Stas, :: but how do you know which is the right width? Think of different :: browsers/platforms/screen sizes/
That's exactly what I was thinking about. :-) :: The problem is the site is autogenerated, you cannot and shouldn't do :: manual adjustments like padding with nbsp. The aim is to be able to drop :: in any document in "any" format and it'll automagically fit into :: the site. I don't see the problem. My WYPUG site is also 100% dynamic. I developed using IE6 on Windows and thought everything was great. I tested with IE on the Mac - still great (once I'd found a transportable font combination), then I tested with NS6 - and it all fell apart. The non-breaking spaces (inserted automatically by my script) pulled it all together. I haven't yet seen it with Konqueror or NS on *nix, but I have Linux users and haven't had any negative feedback. The spaces are obviously invisible and don't seem to have any detrimental effect whatsoever, regardless of the length of content I publish. To summarise, the non-breaking space solution works. If you find an alternative that has the same effect please let me know as I'd implement it myself on WYPUG :: > :: I think that this problem can be fixed by making the 'where :: I'm in the :: > :: site' widget bar of a fixed size?

Horizontal :: scroll bars at :: > low res and masses of whitespace at high res. :: :: Well, too bad stylesheets/html don't have a concept of something like :: width="at least 30%" or something like that, so you could let the pages :: to autogrow (and add the horizontal scroll bar) when there is a very :: wide content but keep the minimum width for empty or narrow :: content pages. I agree totally - maybe in the next revision eh. Web-designers are well used to work-around solutions by now. All but very basic CSS is still a non-starter if you want to guarantee cross-browser capability. Kindest regards, Jonathan M.
