There is some odd problem with Netscape and italics getting stuck on. It's something to do with the style sheets, I believe. So I am killing the default style sheet.

FWIW, I use Netscape and haven't had the italics stick in the *on* position . . .

Looks like <em> is back to italians. My HTML editor uses <em> for italians. Imagine my initial horror when all those italians turned yellow.
To: John Robinson
Thanks John. I almost fully traced it to imbedded tables stuck inside of a blockquote. For some reason, Netscape 4.7x was not closing the blockquote after the tables closed.

Which version of Netscape are you using? I've experienced problems in 4.77, and have heard over versions of 4.7x with the same problem. 4.6 apparently doesn't have it (if I read the complaint threads right), and I have no idea about 6.x (too slow for me <VBG>.

One question. Will the ability to hide categories return soon?
To: John Robinson
Using Netscape 4.7 here with Win98 and a Proxomitron filter for ads. I had italics stuck on as well, but figured you were just messing with font selections.
This thread and most others recently have been fine. I asked earlier about animated GIFs and you said they weren't affected by your changes - I may have seen a non-animated of that USA-shaped waving flag and assumed there was a problem. FYI and thanks.

I have been having trouble posting articles. One was from Yahoo and the other was from Worldnetdaily.com.
It's no big deal; it just rattles my patience button when I do all the HTML and then I get a message that my connection with the server had been terminated.
This seems strange since I can still post replies both on the thread and private---so I must be connected to the server.
Any insight into what I may not be doing?
To: John Robinson
Thanks for the reply on the Guild thread, John. I had solved the problem by uploading a style page... pretty neat capability!
That was the only thread I saw where italics got stuck, but a lot of stuff is put in at the start of the thread and so you might inspect the code on that thread to see why italics were stuck there.
I changed your sample style sheet from "FONT-STYLE: italic" to "FONT-STYLE: plain" and the italics disappeared. I am using Netscape 4.75 on a Mac.

How does one manage one's personal style sheet--i.e. edit or delete it--after uploading it?
To: error99
Because we are.

To change it, just change your local copy and upload it. To revert to whatever JohnRob has, hit the Reset button.

Ah. That is a horror. I'll probably end up using a class for highlighting. I was hoping a simple tag would do, but there are no tags specifically designed for highlighting.
EMphasis was my best guess. However, after reading the HTML specs, I see that <I> is being phased out in favor of <EM>, so that is going to cause problems.
Back to the drawing board!
To: GalFromTheBay
I allow people to install their own custom style sheet-- see the original link above for directions.
I will probably not override the base tags again. I'll probably use classes to override tags.
If and when the default style sheet does come back, I will have to create two or more. One for MSIE and another for Netscape, and perhaps another for some other browser.
What a headache.

Netscape is a headache. :-)
