Sorry, you caught me in beligerent mode. I figured you were accusing one browser or the other of being broken because the images were different.
No problem, I know the mood, I understand, it's ok (grrrr... and you keep blaming women for the PMS... :-). And no, I'm not accusing any browser, I just feel sooooo happy I don't have to deal with them as a web designer, no more headaches for me.
As about standards... HTML 4.0 is already ancient, but even so, writing specifications and RFCs doesn't necessary make a standard out of it.
Do I really have to mention the width and height attributes of the TD tag (RFC 1942, 1996, HTML Tables) which are most of times _ignored_ by almost all the browsers (i guess no one needs names)? As far as I'm concerned, i never managed to make "TD height=40%" work on Netscape, and trust me, I 'tried good manners'. :-)
What people seem to have trouble understanding is that most sites that are "incompatible" with one browser or another are that way because of a _conscious decision_ on the part of the authors!
Does that mean that we have to steak to the 20th century standards that W3C has kindly provided and which (as I mentioned before) are randomly interpreted by browsers and sometimes ignored as if they never existed?
And I saw the elephant. Does that mean my browser "lost"? :)
Definitely. But so did my browser, that keeps showing me the happy cow. I guess we both make team with some losers. :-)
Ok, I get we made peace on this matter, hope to talk to you again sometime. And, oh, my first comment on this subject was also the first comment I posted on Slashdot ever. So... thanks for the spark, if it weren't for you, it would have probably been the last too. :-)
Take care and 'see' ya later,

PS (to the Slasdot authors that posted the latest poll) There is a spelling problem in the poll! Maybe you should consider writing "then x hours" with an "a" instead of the "e". :-)
You're welcome!
