Here is one common fix:
<body onresize="window.location.reload();">
Better still would be to plop this into a function that assures only
Netscape 4 will do the reload (since it is unnecessary and annoying for
users of other browsers):
function fnReload() {
if (document.layers) {
window.location.reload() ;
}
}
...and then call this function from your onresize event handler. IIRC, this
layout problem only occurs with absolutely positioned content (but I could
be wrong), and I think I recall that late versions of Communicator 4.x
automatically do a reload on a resize (but I could be wrong about that,
too -- I'm an IE intranet guy, primarily). Darn irritating problem, either
way.
hth,
