Excellent -- that definitely solves the problem in Safari, which is the browser I was most concerned about. iCab still has problems. Hoping 3.0 will solve them. Mozilla, OmniWeb, and IE 5.2 remain excellent. Netscape 4 leaves the extra row of space just like Safari used to -- but at least nothing breaks. >To also fix things in NS4 abandon the <h5> followed by <center> and change >it to this: ><div class="navlinks" align="center"> [Navigation here] </div> Right now I'm tweaking the design in Claris Home Page. Once I have the layout and color scheme I like, I'll open the file in BBEdit and use HTML Tidy to clean things up. My goal is to move away from using Home Page outside of making rough drafts of projects and build better pages. >I mean no disrespect with the following, you're doing a great job with LEM, >but you've posted before about some design problems and I think it's time >for you to decide what version of HTML you want to offer your visitors. Hoping to become 4.0-transitional compliant when the process is done. This is just the first step in overhauling the page structure of everything on the site. >It's hard to say what's the right thing for a browser to do given the state >of the HTML.

We use Mizer to "compress" the HTML for faster loading because some people are still on dial-up and some people are still using old, slow, low-end Macs to visit our site. On average, page size is reduced 25% with this good old utility. Thanks for the tips. Latest rough draft (with Home Page HTML at this point) is a fair bit improved. <http://lowendmac.com/index2003.html> -- Dan Knight, president, Cobweb Publishing, Inc. <http://cobwebpublishing.com> <http://lowendmac.com> <http://digital-views.com> <http://digigraphica.com> <http://lowendpc.com> <http://reformed.net> Microsoft is to software as McDonald's is to beef. -- Mac Webmasters is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
