Thank you. That's very helpfull. Thanks also to everyone who response my question.

[WSG] Emulating text browser
Hi there Following one of the links of the mailing list I found the Webmaster Guidelines for Google (http://www.google.com/intl/en/webmasters/guidelines.html). One of the Technical Guidelines is to use a text browser such as Lynx to examine your site, because most search engine spiders see your site much as Lynx would. Well I tried to download and install the Lynx browser but I found it a difficult mission (http://lynx.isc.org/lynx2.8.5/lynx2-8-5/INSTALLATION): alien language to me. So I gave up. But recently I found that the Opera browser has an option to view your web in the way a text browser should do ( View/Style/User/Emulate Text Browser). Do anyone knows if the Lynx's browser is something like this option?

Hi all,
I am new to the list, and this is my first posting so please be gentle ;-)
I have a task I am trying to accomplish which is not going to plan.
The base code for what I want to achieve can be found at:
http://www.metamorphosis.info/test/index-test.htm
My aim is to place a single blue panel 300px from the left of the
screen, and for it to stretch from the top to the bottom. Within
that, I would like a content container element, beginning 200px from
the top.
The result is achieved by the code below in Firefox, but IE will not
stretch the pale blue background from top to bottom - seems to fit it
to the content. I've tried many options, but without success.
Can anyone please put me on the right track? Apologies if the solution
is simple, but it's often the simple plans which tend to be overlooked.
Many thanks in advance.
Chris
