Thank you for revealing that unquestionable truth.

Take your medicine (most likely C2H5OH) and go to bed.

I think C8H10N4O2 is feeling a little left out.

C8H10N4O2 + H2O + C12H22O11 + C2H5OH = Irish Coffee.

Mmm....

Yes. Sucrose.

I know, but sucrose was obviously the inferred compound.

Anyway, I don't expect much from my knowledge of biochemistry: I never
studied it.

In CSS...
http://examples.tobyinkster.co.uk/garageband/page

Original: 12KB + 7KB of images
Mine: 3.4KB + 960 bytes of images

Advantages of mine:

- replaces the image-based headings and navigation with real text
- much smaller faster page download

Disadvantages of mine:

- because the original design is very fixed width, text overlapping/hiding
occurs at some font sizes. Replacing the real text with images would solve
that though.

Have to admit, Toby - I'm less than impressed. :-/

Is there something different about that png file? Firefox doesn't want
to open it when I click the link (or paste in browser), rather it
wants to download it and open with a graphics program.

This one of mine opens fine in my Firefox:

Yep, dodgy mime type by the looks of it. Will check it out.

OK, think I've fixed it now. Try again if you don't mind:

Ok, works now. Was it the server mime type? It is:

Content-Type: image/png

Yep. Was being sent as text/plain. *Sigh*. Going to change hosts when it
is up for renewal.

Perhaps I should have tested it in browsers other than Opera 7.53/Linux?
Alternatively I could add a note to the bottom "This page is best viewed
in Opera 7.53 for Linux."

I thought that subject is close! <g>

Great job Toby!

You are unbelieveable. If that can be done, almost anything can be done.

You are Top Gun!

It doesn't work on 7.6p3 for win either.

You managed to make a page that only works on Opera 7.5 becuase bug
invented for quirks mode which makes floats strech container.

OK. That page was made at nearly midnight. Back on form now.

http://examples.tobyinkster.co.uk/garageband/page2

Tested and works in:

- Opera/7.53, Linux
- Mozilla/1.6, Linux
- MSIE/6.0, Windows
- Mozilla/1.0, Windows (tiny display problems)
- Opera/7.0, Windows
- Opera/6.0, Windows (tiny display problems)
- Konqueror/3.1, Linux (tiny display problems)
- MSIE/5.5, Windows (tiny display problems)

MSIE/5.0 for Windows isn't particularly happy though. Haven't tested it in
my other 999,991 browsers.
