Thanks awesomely for all those who helped point me in the right direction.
After attempting innumerable hacks I finally found the one I wanted.
For those who are interested the problem was, naturally, an IE bug. The less
famous 'italic' bug to be precise.
Usually this bug only manifests itself
Is
there any way to specify a max width for content of pre
tags?Currently the content of my pre tagsdoes not
automatically wrap when theparent div is at an end - it just keeps on
running until it finds the end of the line. I know the idea of the pre
tag is to display the content as it is,
codeprecontent/pre/code
Gives you an alternate parent element which you can then set to scroll
or whatever, preventing the content from spilling out across your
layout generally. I think.

The easiest way to define this is to create a division whose overflow attribute
is set to auto. example:

Following one of the links of the mailing list I found the Webmaster

One of the Technical Guidelines is to use a text browser such as Lynx to
examine your site, because most search engine spiders see

I have created a very basic CSS Menu. I am having a problem with the active
area for the link. In Firefox the block acts as the link and a rollover
effect is given when the cursor is over any part of the block, which is what
i want. In IE the text only is active part and not the rest

Uh, something like. Sorta. Well, not maybe that
The major gotcha with Operas text view is that it preserves table
(columnar) structure where lynx just runs them all together.
Try a precompiled binary:

Hi everyone,
I am having more problems with fluid CSS designs for an e-commerce site.

And a box set to 100% to the right.

adding the left margin.

you want a font-size switcher or stylesheet switcher.

Hi all,
I know NS7 is basically dead but it also generally has complaint
rendering. What it did to my page and my subsequent understanding of the
problem made me wonder if the others (Ffox, IE and Opera) were just
being more forgiving.
The issue is that the footer and BW image divs in this

Play around with the web developer's toolbar in Firefox... I can't
figure out a way to make it work as you want it to (though it's
possible to style it so it doesn't look like preformatted text,
demonstrated in the link). If it's coming from a database,
If I understand you correctly, you want pre with word-wrap?
pre should only be used when the text you want to display is infact
preformatted, such as indented code. Applying word-wrap to such text
would be by definition to format it (and thus render in
un-preformatted (sic)).
If the text from

Does anyone actually use lynx anymore though (except sysadmins who
haven't realises that VMS is not the lastest thing out there)? AFAIK
links, w3m, and other text browsers are far more popular. All these
other browsers preserve table structure.

I have never had any use for the pre tag. Now I thought I finally had my
chance and it turns out to be a really useless tag. DAMN! :)
