hi

[enclosing an example based on /dst_html/docs/1.0/guide/intro.html]

two issues:
1) the list problem
2) the toc issue


1) is "solved" using divs instead of <ul> and <li> tags.
the problem (well, its only in netscape4 i think) is that
when you apply a list-style of "none" it will show a
question mark (?), why i don't understand, but it does. i
have tried several tricks to solve that and it can be done
but we have to use another stylesheet for netscape or opera
or whatever etc.
so enter the div solution. take a look and see what you
think about it, i think it can be used in our case.

You are talking about the search page, right?

This CSS solution works in NS4
<li class="search">
li.search { list-style: none; }

I've just tested. is it bad?

Allan, your div solution has at least these 2 drawbacks:

1. absolute margin length (could be probably fixed)
2. text browsers like lynx, cannot handle it, so you get a flat column.

2)
while working on the different headers-issues i also came up
with the enclosed colour-scheme for the toc-section.
the reason for introducing these colors here is twofold.
a) simply to better seperate the toc from the content.

-1 on this change. IMHO, it makes the page look bad. We needed the dark bg to separate the content from the site's skeleton. There is no need to separate TOC from its document.


also -1 on moving from normal/default <li> style to the div solution. It was only wanted for the search because of the checkboxes, which looks better without the disks. We introduce more troubles here for no reason.

b) indicate whether links inside that toc-section is visited
(i forgot why we don't do that already)

good point, this should be fixed. can you please send me a patch that fixes only this issue at this point, since it's clearly broken and needs no discussion. Thanks.
