I put in a bunch of other links to point out some other instances, it's just come up a couple times in the last week.<BR/><BR/>You should see my IM logs about these sorts of things, you could write a novel with them.<BR/><BR/>The main thing I want is for people to be pragmatic about browser development, and not make it harder than it needs to be.<BR/><BR/>I'm all for standards and would love to build everything standard compliance, but if it comes down to a job taking 10 minutes or 2 hours and done I'll take 10 minutes every time.<BR/><BR/>CarlCarl Backstromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05017816632779478810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26115924.post-73197371819707736202008-01-05T08:21:00.000-08:002008-01-05T08:21:00.000-08:00Carl,I have to assume that I'm at least partially ...Carl,<BR/><BR/>I have to assume that I'm at least partially responsible for this post ;) I have a confession... After having tested Paul's solution, which accomplished exactly what I asked for, it turned out to only fix one of the two problems. Impromptu still failed to "fade" the entire screen (if you scrolled down it was still white).<BR/><BR/>However, the img shim you suggested, which NEARLY accomplished exactly what I asked for, worked to fix both issues. And the winner is... img shim where height="500px". It seems that some of the old tricks that all the browsers understand still work best.<BR/><BR/>Now if I could only get some of that TIME and MONEY back! <BR/><BR/>DanDan McGhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971112000913341546noreply@blogger.com
