| 90970 | 2002-10-20 04:39:00 | Susan, Anything earlier than IE 3 or Netscape 4 won't support CCS. The later versions will support different elements - the more recent browsers the more elements. If you code for IE4 then the majority should see things. I'm currently using TopStyle Lite (free) and considering upgrading to Pro (pay for) www.bradsoft.com A useful tool for learning at a glance what works and what doesn't and where (didn't help with this post's problem though) |

| 90971 | 2002-10-20 04:52:00 | Thanks for that Heather. None of the visitors to my pages use anything earlier than IE 5.0 and other browsers are few and far between so I guess I'll be safe coding for IE4 like you say. That TopStyle Lite looks good, I'm currently downloading it for a test drive. :-) |

| 90972 | 2002-10-20 04:59:00 | Yeah, as far as asp etc goes, I have a lot to learn in those areas, and not enough time to learn it. As you probably know, I am self taught in HTML and CSS, and I learnt everything I know over a two week stint of evenings reading online tutorials. I have done nothin gmuch since then. Susan, here (www.westciv.com) is a comprehensive list of the individual CSS elements supported by the various browsers. It is quite long (several pages), but very complete. You will notice that the positioning property (under page layout) is only fully supported by Opera 5.0 and partially supported or not supported at all by the rest. It is the fact that it is only partially supported by most browsers that means that it can not be used to emulate frames. One day everyone will have a browser that supports it I hope, or I work out how to use something better than HTML or CSS and my problem will be solved. G P |

| 90973 | 2002-10-20 05:01:00 | It pays to keep your target audience in mind - particularly if you are trying to sell them something. One disgruntled visitor could equal one (or more) fewer sales. Leave the cutting edge stuff for the Family Christmas Card. |

| 90974 | 2002-10-20 05:07:00 | Graham, ASP is very much a Programmer's Code - twisted logic. ColdFusion is extended HTML. Trouble is ASP appears to be more widely supported by Hosts (the Microsoft influence here). But find a host that supports ColdFusion and you're away. |

| 90975 | 2002-10-20 08:30:00 | Hey Graham, a.white:hover and a:hover.white both work on IE 5.5 (have just tested it). I guess I either need to go read a book or find a validator to check which is technically correct. The links are now a nice underlined red on black changing to bold white on black on mouseover. The alternative darkish green (a colour featured in the logo picture) - which worked on the white content didn't look nearly so good on black. Susan, have you come up for air yet from TopStyle Lite? |

| 90976 | 2002-10-20 23:07:00 | I am pretty sure the format a.class:hover is correct. But if it works... look here (www.westciv.com) G P |

| 90977 | 2002-10-20 23:41:00 | yeah, nice that it works, but stick with 'protocol';) grtz sal. tga |

| 90978 | 2002-10-21 04:28:00 | Sal, Protocol = Technically correct. Where possible I attempt to do so. The question was - which is technically correct? Graham seems to have answered this so I'll go and change it. Thanks for the help. Heather |

| 90979 | 2002-10-21 11:58:00 | oh, thats what i meant, graham had answered the semi-question that you posed, grtz sal tga |
