It's a very interesting article about using strictly css to format content with a detached stylesheet. ("presentation separate from content"), and postulating that this is the way of the future. It proposes a style formula to link the html document to several (3?) style sheets: the first with

Good morning, Glad to see many are awake, alive & well... to generate some discussion, I post the questions: What screen size do you design for? Do you ever use a 'size-sniffer' Do you: dynamically adjust the page due to sniffer results; make a duplicate site for t

After my first post, I sat to task and worked it out. I sent a off-list email to myncs and will post the code below. It works with MSIE and should be bendable to apply cross-browser. Essentially, it's javascript which changes the table-height variable dynamically onResize of the browser window

Hi, Interesting question... I played around with this one using MSIE and a style sheet. if you set table {height:100%} it will expand with the window; however, if you do not have the body {margin-left:0; margin-top:0} set, it will not go all the way to the top of the window. Also, the table'

Eddie, I've played with this a bit involving a client's custom .mp3 files. Problem is that MSIE 6.0 apparently has a twist to it, that if it detects an associated program (eg: MS Word for .doc files, Acrobat for .pdf files, etc) on the user's operating system, then the browser will cause that
