that's almost exactly what i'm working with. :) i considered myself almost decent with css until i tried moving this one background... > To tackle the long line problem, perhaps an idea (don't know it is > possible in combination with the rest of the frogs): > - Give the .wrapper-div a width in em's, so all clientside font sizing > is allowed, and also at big resulutions the line-length is limited. > - Then there is no need anymore to force the .master-form in a > min-width/max-width. i took out some containing divs for the test page since the rest of the content they were containing was removed, so yes i would be able to give an inner div a fixed width. however, the footer would stretch clear across the page then since it's only contained by master-form. > - And more: ... the globe isn't cut off at the right side anymore! > See adapted testpage > <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/cj-background-nw1.htm>. the globe does finally fit there. :) for some reason, when i first view the page in 1024x768 and then maximize to my full resolution of 1600x1200 the footer ends at the bottom of the content, leaving a large white space underneath it, and the globe hides behind the footer and gets cut off underneath the footer. the footer also streches across the entire page for me.

Otherwise it should be possible to implement an with asp.net, if the end user doesn't have javascript they're pretty much SOL. having a working web site without a dependancy on JS went out the window the first week i got here. the whole deal with that form around all the content is for postbacks so that asp.net can do it's admittedly really cool stuff back on the server side. if i could stick my site up live... i can't even do a site check before our first demo monday. :( > AvailableWidth-sniffer, and to redirect to an appriopriate stylesheet > for the most used resolutions; and an AvailableHeight-sniffer for the > determination of the heights.
