It will give you various sounds to use instead of the one John gives as default...try it out.

Hey! That's pretty cool.

Now that I have you here, I could use some help. I want a page layout with content on the left and a sidebar on the right, like we have now. I want long unbroken lines of content to overflow the sidebar rather than pushing the content's right margin (and the sidebar) off screen, a misfortune of my current layout, as exemplified in a page of My Comments with reallylonglinesofpointlesstextthatdoesnotwrapbecausesomeidiotdidnotusespacesnorhashyphensoranythingelsethatwouldcausealinebreak.

Picture this:

content area here  +---------+
this content wraps | sidebar |
blah blah blah     | sidebar |
areallylonglinethatoverflowsrightoffthescreen
and continues here | sidebar |
and here etc       | sidebar |
and here etc etc   +---------+
and then we have normal flow
out here like this.

I think I want a floating DIV. I made my sidebar such, but now I get this:

content area here  +---------+
this content wraps | sidebar |
blah blah blah     | sidebar |
                   | sidebar |
                   | sidebar |
                   | sidebar |
                   +---------+
areallylonglinethatoverflowsrightoffthescreen
and continues here and here
etc and here etc etc and then 
we have normal flow out here 
like this.

Leaving a large (maybe very large) span of vertical whitespace. The reallylongline and the rest of the content display only after the float has ended.

Is what I want possible? Worse yet, I require the solution to be compatible with MSIE 4x-6x, NS4, Mozilla, Opera, and WebTV.

Also, do you know a CSS trick that allows only NS4 to see a portion a style sheet? I've seen the method documented elsewhere, it leverages a bug in NS4, maybe in the comment handling, allowing attributes to be specified to overcome other NS4 bugs.

I'm trying to display an image in a margin, I've set a negative margin on the image and that works in all browsers except NS4, which doesn't seem to handle negative margins correctly.

I want:

(margin)
      :
[IMG] : Content here
      : and here
      : etc
      :

NS4 puts the IMG ontop of the "and" in the content.
