DOC and I have been PMing back and forth on this for a while and basically he says I have a crappy video. Basically, with the colours on http://www.kixhelp.com/links.htm I can't see the text in the right column.

Am I the only guy with lousy video?

NOPE! For me it's black text on black back. If I drag my cursor over the area it turns white on blue.

so, it might be that your browser does not support styles or has scripts disabled.

Les,

Jooel may be correct. This is using Cascading Style Sheets version 2 which "may" only properly be viewed or supported on Netscape 6 or IE 6

Just a guess as I'm not 100% sure what version of the browser you need to view it. Also you may have some other settings set different in your IE browser.

Dear NTDOC,

On a ASUS video card we see also black-on-black. for the right column.
The color choose from previous site format was very well.
CSS style sheets can work great, but during 'problems' it can be hard to solve.
greetings.

Dear,

After creating a new format we are verifying it also on all kind of other (old) browser.
Sometimes we discover problems with javascripts, which were designed by those STATISTICS
companies.
At this moment we find minor warnings on IE 3.0 and earlier versions acceptable. From
release IE 4.0 we don't want to see any warning. Also we don't want to have a dependecy
of display properties.

So we are always very happy to have very slow computers to detect performance
problems and to see things work in a correct way.
greetings.

Hmmm... Seems that it does point to a dependancy on using IE 6 or Navigator 6

I have plenty of older systems and IE 5.01 I can try it on tomorrow when I get back to work.

Lonkero,

Sorry, I stole most of this code and modified it to work on my site. I don't know anything about Java and only just now getting into CSS

I really like CSS2, I can probably round up some code that will check the browser version and redirect to an HTML 4.0 page/s if I really needed to.

I'll have to think about what direction I really want to go in. I do like how I can modify a few lines in one file and have it modify ALL my pages. Very cool, but I know that not everyone is using IE6 either.

dear,
all this you can do with jscript.
also, all this you can do with ssi/cgi (cgi-like our board) with Lynx/IE1.0/Netscape0.9 compliancy

it is not hard, just you will need to know the basics.

if you need to know some, just ask.

Dear Lonkero,

Nice wether forecast as link. Also you have nice temperatures during the days and nights. At
this moment you don't need a deep-freeze cabinet.

We have such temperatures only for a short period and mostly once in ten year.
greetings.

Actually Lonkero I would have to disagree with you.

Unless you are an Albert Einstein kind of guy... Java is not simple. i.e. If you enable script debugging in IE you will find that well over 50-60% of all websites you visit that use Java and or Java Script have errors. This includes major sites such as HP/Compaq/Sun/MS/Schools etc...

This would indicate to me that somebody "thinks" they did it correctly, but in fact they have something screwed up in the code. It is also a rather extensive language.

Also, my site is targeted towards NT/2000 Network Administrators, whom I would assume "most" are running IE 6 on their own desktop. Trying to comply with the lowest common denominator is also not what I really want.

As I've said I'm completely new to writing web pages, I don't do it for a living.... I spend many hours at my normal job doing LAN/WAN SAN Network support. In my free time I try to learn and work with other technologies, but I don't have an unlimited amount of time for these tasks either (The family doesn't appreciate me spending my entire night on computing [Eek!] )

For now it is at least useable and viewable by most users so I'll probably leave the site as is while I figure out what direction to really take.

Thanks for the feedback and ideas though.
