[WEB4LIB] Re: browser differences

[Drew, Bill]

all I asked was what might cause a problem with Opera.  Now I am getting
raked over the coals for my design.  The webpage is designed for our primary
patrons, students and faculty at SUNY Morrisville.  The standard browser
here is IE6.  The standard platform is the IBM ThinkPad laptop or IBM
desktop using Windows 98 soon to be Windows XP.

As far as the resize goes, that is there for better display on our public
computers in the library.  If you have another suggestion to make it display
full screen on just our library computers, please tell me so.


As far as Flash goes, how can one say it is not needed on our webpage?  It
is part of our marketing of the library as a high tech part of the college
community.  That makes it necessary to us.

The scrollable banner quits after a short period of time.

I have looked at our log files and less than .25 % of visitors to our site
in the last year have use Amaya. 

I do know that all pages on our site work within in Lynx except for the pull
down menus.  The pulldowns are not necessary for getting to the main links.


Thanks for the input.  The problem has been fixed where the display went
goofy in Opera.  Thomas Dowling provided that information.

As far  as validation, the add ons to Dream Weaver are based on the W3C
standards and on tidy.
