[WEB4LIB] Re: Centering Web Page

[Floyd Ingram]

You will have that problem of varying displays regardless of HTML editor or whatever.  It is the coding that makes the great difference, particularly those that are advanced of the old versions.  Why not upgrade the browsers.  Do you try to open a document created using WordPerfect 8 in an earlier version?  Does it not work the same for other software packages?  UPGRADE!  It is the challenged of the hardware, too...UPGRADE!  You don't like it and I don't like it much either, but I am keeping up.  I don't like the frequencies of these new versions.  Well, that is one big way to keep work coming for the programmers and profits coming in for these companies, too.

Ok, *why* are your pages best viewed under IE4+ and Netscape 4+, and how
bad do they look in Netscape 3.04?  Do you tell your users?  Does FP2K
tell you?  And is it really necessary to have such varying displays at
different workstations?

It's sounds like FrontPage is managing your expectations at least as well
as your web site.
