But, there is no way to make Netscape use some non-proportional font with the
style sheet settings of the FAQ?
Is there any workaround?
We (MCCW) have some more problems with Netscape bugs... If you like, I can tell
you all about it.
Another thing: if there is an unnecessary </p> or </b> or other closing tag,
Netscape will drop out of the Style Sheet settings and resumes with the default
stuff...
Talking about Netscape 4.x for Unix: in a FORM OPTION list, the background will
always be gray. Luckily it is possible to change the FONT colour locally, by
using the FONT tag. But it is nasty. In Netscape 3.x this was no problem, since
the background colour of the OPTION list was the same as the BGCOLOR tag
prescribes. But not in 4.x...
It seems we are forced to use other browsers than Netscape...
PLease check the FAQ with your browser and report me when it is not working...
(Concentrate on the <PRE> parts, which are especially in the connector
section...)
Anyway, despite the Netscape problems, I hope you all enjoy the new layout of
the FAQ. It was a hell of a lot of work. Any other suggestions are welcome of
course.
Grtjs, Manuel
