Do they make reading difficult? Looks fine under IE 3.02 and 4.01 at 800x600, 1024x768 and 1280x1024. It also looks good under Web Explorer at 1024x768. I found no readability problems with the italics. BTW, I agree with most of Caliban's comments on the right/left issue. I would also point out that one can fix position text/buttons on the left and also fix their widths if you use buttons. While buttons/text on the right side are "floating" depending on browser resolution, unless you hardcode specific dimensions. But then you'll be hard coding for the lowest common denominator 640x480, leaving a great deal of blank space on the right for anyone who exceeds that resolution. Still it's quite workable until you get into frames. Fixing a navigation frame on the right in most browsers is very ugly. -- Jon Lambert </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <ul compact><li><strong>Follow-Ups</strong>: <ul> <li><strong><A NAME="00185" HREF="msg00185.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] META: Web site backgrounds and readability</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> Caliban Tiresias Darklock <caliban#darklock,com></li></ul> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00179.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Character development [was Re: ]</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00181.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] There can be.. only ONE!</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00162.html">[MUD-Dev] META: Web site backgrounds and readability</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00185.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] META: Web site backgrounds and readability</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00180"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00180"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00194" HREF="msg00194.html">META: Archive message format</A></strong>, J C Lawrence <a href="mailto:claw#under,engr.sgi.com">claw#under,engr.sgi.com</a>, Thu 16 Apr 1998, 16:28 GMT <LI><strong><A NAME="00183" HREF="msg00183.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] There can be.. only ONE!</A></strong>, Jon A.
