Can anyone point to what the standards-compliant browsers do? This is a joke -- correct ?? Is there any known STANDARD the closest i have seen are recommendations.... and I have yet to see a browser that meets the recommendations One can only learn from testing for themselves and what i see on a WinXp using 800x600 rez on a 15 inch mionitor is that the big three browsers are consistant and Amaya is roughly 10% smaller in length for any size pitch .... What I hope for is consistancy of view on the same hardware/os platform that will be tough enough to achieve ....... Then work at the rez varient and finally at the platform one .... The reasoning is that users and casual designers will see a one machine variation first and any differences will likely be a turn-off to using the authoring tool ..... Sure later on the more savey designer will test on over screens and other o/s but are these guys likely to use Amaya ?? Maybe its time to look at who you are targeting the Amaya tool for Classroom use, average Joe, the professional designer, as an academic challenge of a 'doable' tool. I am Joe AVERAGE, not Joe COOL and have watched Amaya progress to rendering my own stuff in a manner closer and closer to the mainstream browsers but still see differences. Where these differences come from a "recommendation" failure, gray area or disagreement, I have reported them. But the most significant difference i see as soon as i hit my home page icon on any browser (cant find one in Opera but i think that is just me :-) ) is that word wraps are all different in Amaya vs any others and as said before it is 10% smaller .... And i look forward to seeing this not-so-subtle thing disappearing .... ta -- -- John Russell, VE3LL@COGECO.CA http://home.cogeco.ca/~ve3ll http://home.cogeco.ca/~trains http://home.cogeco.ca/~cipher
