[thelist] CSS positioning

Mon May 28 16:36:19 CDT 2001

set your page borders and margins to 0 using the line:

<body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
one is for netscape the other for IE (can't remember which is which)

That should solve problem 1.

the second problem can be solved with a little javascript:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_reloadPage(init) {  //reloads the window if Nav4 resized
  if (init==true) with (navigator) {if
((appName=="Netscape")&&(parseInt(appVersion)==4)) {
    document.MM_pgW=innerWidth; document.MM_pgH=innerHeight;
onresize=MM_reloadPage; }}
  else if (innerWidth!=document.MM_pgW || innerHeight!=document.MM_pgH)
location.reload();
}
MM_reloadPage(true);
// -->
</script>

straight out of dreamweaver so it should work, just stick it in your head
tag.  It's a netscape bug and the above script forces the browser to refresh
if the window is resized.

Hope it helps

Cheers

Alastair

Subject: [thelist] CSS positioning

Hi everyone,
I am having some troubles with positioning in CSS and making it work in both
IE and NN.
No matter what I do it works in IE. But Netscape seems to position
everything relative to some other point that I am not aware of.
I read through both Netscape's and Microsoft's CSS positioning pages and
can't find anything different about the way that they determine the origin
point for relative positioning. Maybe I missed something.
Here is a link.

Any help would be appreciated.

Another thing that is happening is that when I resize my browser window in
NN it screws up everything.(totally whacked) If I hit the reload button
everything comes back to normal.
Is this a common reaction in NN with DHTML?

Hope your all having a good holiday weekend.

Thanks,
