Please enter your responses at the end of the message to which you are replying (bottom posting). This really does not bother me, but others get very feisty about it. Yes, I saw overlaps. This is generally caused by frames or <div> boxes that are not properly constructed. Sometimes it results instead from someone creating a Web page for a very specific window size and monitor resolution instead of making the page adaptable to varying sizes and resolutions. In any case, the page is quite amateurish. Most browsers take HTML/XHTML errors and guess what was really meant. Those guesses are programmed into the browsers by the human programmers. Each browser has different programmers, and each programmer guesses differently. On top of that, CSS errors cause the affected portion of the CSS to be ignored. CSS controls much of the formatting of a Web page. Ignoring an important part of CSS because of errors can cause strange formatting. You will find that very few of those who participate in newsgroups will bother diagnosing problems in Web pages with HTML/XHTML and CSS errors. This is true not only in the various Mozilla newsgroups but also in the comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html and comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets newsgroups on general news servers. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/> On occasion, I might filter and ignore all newsgroup messages posted through GoogleGroups via Google's G2/1.0 user agent because of spam from that source. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
