on the contrary, javascript is the most problematic when it comes to cross-browser compatibility. (especially in the netscape4 days it was really bad) as fas as a consistent view is concerend, forget that outright. the whole browser concept is not designed for a consistent view. read up on the html spec and what it says about how browsers are supposed to implement that. in many places you will find that browsers may implement things in different ways. things need to work consistently, but need not look consistently. greetings, martin. -- looking for a job doing pike programming, sTeam/caudium/pike/roxen training, sTeam/caudium/roxen and/or unix system administration anywhere in the world. -- pike programmer travelling and working in europe open-steam.org unix system- bahai.or.at iaeste.(tuwien.ac|or).at administrator (stuts|black.linux-m68k).org is.schon.org Martin B�hr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/
