You really added more depth to the article with your follow ups. Regarding JavaScript resizing... I never knew there was an option in Firefox (the main browser I use) that would allow me to turn this off without shutting JavaScript completely down. I've also been using the config files I've had since 1.0, and I guess some settings didn't change throughout all those upgrades. This setting was not off by default for me. But thanks for pointing that out. I went to the Options window and now I'm free of this headache! As for browser compatibility, I agree. If designers find their sites don't quite work in a browser such as Internet Explorer, they shouldn't ask/demand their audience to switch to something like Firefox, or send hate mail to Microsoft. The general public doesn't give a damn about the Heroic Crusade for Modern Browsers. They just want to see what they want to see, with the tools already available to them. Cheers.
