Hi Jason,

I know that, all I was after was the coloured bar going accross!

Have to pay the local cybercafe a visit to see mozila and explorer. There is a
site which shows you how your page looks in different browsers - anyone know
the URL?

So if it does not work, doing font=1 would fix it?

I'm after stretchyness to work on any size screen. It's a shame pictures
would get distorted if they were included in the % sizing.

I've noticed it in lots of source, sometimes used repeatedly.
