clikker: Wow... I just downloaded then installed your customizations... it's really neat! I love it!
just had to quote that part again...


Glad you liked it, clikker. Which version of IE are you using?

steveegg: I'll have to try translating that to Netscape 4.77.
Did you have any luck getting the effects to work with Netscape?

Spent the afternoon working on trying to get a new DSL connection working (long story, don't need to post it), so I didn't have a chance to yet. Suppose it's a good thing, because JohnRob and you changed things again. Anyway, will try later today.

Netscape 4.77 doesn't support the 3-d effect, and there's a couple of quirks with margins that I'll have to try to work out later. Also, the URL format for stored files in Netscape is significantly different ("file///c|dir1/dir2/file)" instead of the normal convention supported by IE. As I don't have Netscape 6, I can't verify anything there.

Managed to get things done before I left for church. Anyway, here's the list of changes that have to happen for things to work close right for Netscape 4.x users:

-The "margin-left", "A:link", "A:visited", "A:hover" and "border-style" lines must be deleted because of incompatibilities with Netscape 4.7x
-The margin-right value has to be 0 (note to John, with the DIVs, specifying a margin other than 0 fouls up Netscape 4.7x, and I suspect does the same to the rest of Netscape 4.x)
-The url convention for local files in Netscape 4.x is radically different. Instead of simply pointing to the file as usual, c:\dir\file, you must use file///c|dir/file

You won't get the 3-d effect, but the remainder works.

Apparently, I'm currently using Microsoft's Internet Explorer, version 6.0. Looks great on my end! One thing though... is it possible to get back the little underline under hyperlinks? They're hard to recognize without it.

Did y'all see JohnRob's new "FR Bump List" tool? It's really neat. I think the Internet address for it is something like http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/bump-list, or something similar. Honestly, he works way too hard.
