I submitted a problem a while back which I believed was a JavaScript stylesheet selection problem. I'm using two css to position text in IE4 and Nav4 and found that on re-sizing the browser, IE4 produced an erratic display and Nav4 promptly crashed the machine. The problem turned out not to be in the selection code but proved to be in the order which I designated the layout- I was calling up a style for one line of text that occupied a lower part of the page _before_ that of a line occupying a higher part. The pages loaded up fine, but the re-sizing caused an almight memory leak (I think), and gave me an almighty headache (for sure!). The solution was arrived at after some discussion with Rob Crooks (http://web.bentley.edu/empl/c/rcrooks/toolbox/ ) and it has been to make sure that all text is arranged in the order it will be displayed on the page.
