[AccessD] New look for Colby Consulting

<my two cents worth...>

I have found that Netscape is a pretty funky piece of code. It apparently
left the production shop before the full testing was done. Even though NS6-7
are supposed to be able to use layers, do not try loading a web page with
them included on a MAC. The result is an absolute spectacular hard
crash...nothing close to that can be realized with EI, Opera or any other
piece of software, for that matter. Impress your MAC friends...Oh yes one
more thing place a 'form' tag inside a 'table' tag and use a 'div' layer
outside...better than virus...place it in your email. It can not be
detected.

Just kidding of course, it is not the MACs fault just a buggy version of NS.

I finished a full course on web design last year and the hardest browser to
code for was older versions of NS. A web site was ready for marking when it
looked good on all other browsers and just ran on NS, not looking too ugly.
Netscape 7 has addressed a lot of the issues but for those stuck older
version, my heart felt sympathy.

<...end of my two cents worth>

Have a good day
Jim

THis only works in IE, unless the new releases of Opera and
Mozilla support this MS tag.

Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never
cease to be amused.
