Sherry, You're right that it does look different in NN 4.x which I didn't check in since I absolutely hate that browser and will be glad when it is no longer even an after though to web design.
I did check it in NN 6.2 & Mozilla which are much more standards compliant. To fix what I originally did so it will appear more like other browsers in NN 4.x. I did the following Okay, I put the vertical-align in both the tr & td definition to have it top align. Compliant browsers use the tr tag while NN 4 uses the td tag. It appears that NN 'td' inheritance bug also effects text color by adding it to the td tag description text is now green. Personally I think it is easier to read when it is black but it isn't my site. You can see the revised version at http://wiserways.net/sherry/index1.htm. As you can tell from the paragraph above the problems were pretty easy to fix. There is a slight issue with 2 of the pictures but it appears in all browsers and it could probably be fixed by playing with margins and/or padding. I took out the left justified links because they didn't work correctly in IE which is the majority browser out there and to fix it would have required a lot of messing with code to find out which nesting error was causing the problem. Besides they are just as accessible in the center and look like they belong there instead of being an after though. Btw, the ../ are a relative path information and when you remove them then the browser is looking in the wrong location for files. ../ takes it up one level while ../images takes it up one level then over to the image folder if that makes any sense. You might try the HTML Writer's Guild for some online classes at fairly reasonable prices. They have a intro to Dreamweaver's class starting this week (join if you decide to take a class the difference in class price more than makes up for the membership fee). Cheryl D.

The text links at the bottom of the page are left justified on all the other pages. I put them in for accessibility reasons, per recommendations gleaned on this list, and also because I believe you should be able to go to any page on a site from any other page on a site. One of our board members was complaining this week because they're ugly. I was under the impression the simpler the better for accessibility reasons so I left them plain vanilla ugly font. Sigh. I guess it's time for me to learn about css. I didn't think adding pix would be such a big deal, frankly. If I had, I probably would have waited even longer to open yet another can of worms. Your revised page, on Netscape 4.X, has black fonts and looks quite a lot different than the IE version. The Heather and Steve pix, for example, still aren't top justified (if that's the correct term) with the text to their right. The Heather text *is* to the right of the pic, however, which is what I was aiming for. I'm such a dumb bunny I forgot to look at the page I did in IE yesterday. To be honest, I never even think of IE. I never use it myself, we use Netscape 4.X in the office, etc. I live in a Netscape world, one that's crumbling to be sure since the corporate takeover. I'll probably switch to Opera in the future. I simply can't bring myself to use IE. Anyway, the page as I did it doesn't really look all that bad. Except for the big, fat ugly mess of snarled links at the bottom of the page. What the hell causes that??? If I could fix that, I'd just leave the damned thing alone, put it up and tell my boss it reads fine on IE and I need some training. Right now, what I'm doing is copying the code from a page that works and from the page that doesn't into Notebook and comparing them line by line, in hopes of finding out why those bottom text links are mooshed over to the left. Of all the pages I have available to me, that gives the best mix of works/doesn't work without getting into a whole new area (CSS) which would probably, knowing me, offer new ways of hanging myself. hey're where they are or what's missing or extra. There's the rub. I have an oddity on the page that doesn't work, also. Most of the href have "../ in them as in "../image instead of "image which is what's on the page that doesn't have the bottom text links messed up. When I take out the ../ I get a grey broken image icon (which is quite spectacular when you get to the background image command. Does anyone have a clue why this would be? Again, thank god for Undo. I worship the God of Undo. ____ � The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM � ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:wdvltalk-join@;lists.wdvl.com Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change subscription settings to the wdvltalk digest version: http://wdvl.internet.com/WDVL/Forum/#sub ________________ http://www.wdvl.com _______________________ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
