Tinker time...

Jeez, this place is a mess.

After spending about 6 hours yesterday and today re-creating graphics, reorganizing, adding a top level index file to handle redirection here and mostly beating my head against style sheets, it seems to mostly work for the browsers I've tried it with.

Hopefully, it's less of a mess than it was and I can move over all the legacy stuff over the next couple days (time permitting).

Cascading Style Sheets are just ridiculous (much more complicated than they should be because there seem to be at least two ways to do everything). I know there are a lot of places to get CSS information, but this is the one I keep going back to time and time again. I'm not going to fight it any more right now because it seems to work. We'll have to see how bad it looks under a couple Windows browsers at some point in time, but for now, enough!

Comments

The page looks good in Netscape 4.5 (OS 9.1). However the comments form is all screwed up. The "Remember Info?" checkbox, "Preview," "Post," and "Forget Personal Information" buttons are all INSIDE the "Comments:" text boxt and cannot be used. I can type text into the "Comments:" text box, but have no way to submit my comments.

I'm in IE 5.0 right now, and it's as you described...the right column is still on the right, just significantly lower than it should be...all the way down in fact. However, the comments page looks fine.

Now I just have to dig out my old SE30 and see how it holds up in Netscape 2.0 in OS 7.5!

BTW, was that a 500 or 450 machine? This penny is burning a hole in my pocket.
