You know, I think I know what heaven will be like for those of us Web
consultants who lead blameless lives and thus make it past St. Peter upon
shuffling off this mortal coil: in heaven there will be one single browser
running on one single operating system, and proprietary HTML extensions
and all that will be consigned directly to The Other Place.
Sigh... just spent six frustrating hours trying to figure out why a complex
Javscript/Perl/MIDI thingy I'm working on kept giving me errors in NS 3.0,
while working fine in NS 4, MSIE 3 and MSIE 4... went through miles of
code with the proverbial fine-toothed comb, tweaking, uploading,
tweaking, uploading... no joy.
Finally started fiddling with bits of HTML that by rights should have had no
impact whatever on the JS or Perl stuff... and for the hell of it changed
the width of a table from relative (90%) to fixed (540) -- bingo. Worked.
Tried various other combinations of table and cell widths, it crapped out
again... set it back to 540, worked.
I should stress that there's zip in the code that sets or calls table widths
in any way... it has nothing (well, nothing sensible) to do with the
document structure or display. But nonetheless.
Live and learn, live and learn.
