Site stuff
- Nov. 4th, 2002 at 5:50 PM
Because some people think my background graphics for my site are BORING, I've revamped it a bit. If you view the site with a Mozilla-based browser (Netscape 6.x or Mozilla are the two biggies), or with IE 5.5 or greater on a Mac, you'll see it exactly as intended. If you use IE for Windows (any version) or Opera (any version), you'll see a slightly wrong version, but still readable.
Is the background boring or is it interesting enough?

The effect is neat on a Mozilla browser, with the partially-transparent look of that DIV and the seamless scrolling. On IE, the background of the DIV doesn't stay still as it's supposed to, and on Opera the entire DIV stays immobile, which is also poor CSS behavior. Maybe in the next versions, they'll all work right. :-)

Background, with a black text box and white text. Then, if the text overruns the box, it'll still show up.
Mozilla-based browsers are the only ones on Windows that actually show that effect exactly as I intended - it looks like one background with a white translucent box for the text. Check it out in IE and the box takes the graphics along for a scroll (not at all intended).
