Preserved Topic: Attn: Doc Ozone

You've got the same Netscape layer problems I do. In your Handson glass tute if you resize the browser in Netscape all the words in the tutorials paragraph break after each word and are left justified (it prints that way out of netscape also). BTW I'm using Netscape 4.7 for Windows.<P>Try it and you'll see what I'm talking about.
If you add the following code to your page you can fix the resize problem but it doesn't fix the printing problem.<P><script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_reloadPage(init) { //reloads the window if Nav4 resized
if (init==true) with (navigator) {if ((appName=="Netscape")&&(parseInt(appVersion)==4)) {
document.MM_pgW=innerWidth; document.MM_pgH=innerHeight; onresize=MM_reloadPage; }}
else if (innerWidth!=document.MM_pgW &#0124; &#0124; innerHeight!=document.MM_pgH) location.reload();
}
MM_reloadPage(true);
// -->
</script><P>------------------

Ah yeah, the Macromedia fix. What happens with netscape is that all of the text and images reload, but none of the javascript or style sheets get processed! Big time suckage, there. If you'll look at the code, I have a very similar script in place, but it doesn't work (just like yours doesn't work) with frames! The thing is, it's a script, and scripts don't process on reload, so it never finds the problem. I'm very aware of the problem, but have no good solution. I'm considering writing the values to the server, and using a cgi to check things out periodically, maybe?<P>Your pal, -doc-

Ah, I wasn't aware of the issue with frames or that scripts didn't process on reload. Guess I haven't been paying attention well enough. Doh! If you figure out a good CGI work around will you share it with us. I don't know how to write CGI so I would be greatful for any help you could give. <P>I've been doing a lot of experimentation with javascript and dHTML lately and am quickly learning that dHTML does have some downfalls. At first I thought it was a God send...finally a way to achieve exact layout dimensions without intricate slow loading tables. Well, I'm still wet behind the ears when it comes to scripting. Does anyone else share my sentiments?<P>Hey Doc, how about some Handson CGI, jscript, dHTML Tutorials? Is that a possibility? You know it might be cool also if you had a "recommended reading" section where people could go to find out what books would be best for what they are trying to learn. I've bought a lot of books on Photoshop (for instance) only to find out that I knew most of what they contained. It's just a thought! <P>BTW, A personal question for the Doc! What kind of cigarettes do you smoke and what kind of coffee do you drink?<P>
