I guarantee there are people out there using IE for whom your page doesn't look perfect - they'll have the configuration *they* like, rather than the one *you* like. It probably looks better in your Netscape than it does in their IE. > Of course IE has some cookie issues, and netscape does not. As > they say, the browser wars rage on!

That means the error listing was longer than the page, which has 469 lines. Fixing those may make it look better in Netscape - assuming the readers configuration is close to what yours is. Of course, that web page isn't noticably worse than something like 90% of the pages on the web. <mike P.S. - yes, I know that my home page has two errors on it. I'm lieing about the DOCTYPE on purpose, because I want the validator to flag usage that isn't part of HTML 4.01 Strict. If you validate it against HTML (*not* XHTML) 4.01 Transitional, it has no errors. -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh?
