All from 1973: Air India Garuda Philipine Also, what you will see on the main page and the 1970's page is the new look of the site. The other pages will be updated over time. The new design was created with Firefox users in mind. Internet Explorer doesn't display the pages just right and if I code them for IE, then they look fouled-up in Firefox. I chose to go with a Firefox formatting because of the growing number of users. If you aren't using it, it's free and can be downloaded at www.mozilla.org/. I've been using it for quite sometime and won't go back to IE - especially not that clunky piece of debris known as IE7. Firefox has much better security and it pretty easy to use, IE 6 users will have no problems. I keep IE around ONLY because MS requires that you use it for Windows updates. |

I've been using Firefox for at least two years now at home. At work, we're stuck with a corporate image that only has IE  |

Woowwwhhh!!! Kris has had the paint pot out!!! I thought that I was only the only one doing decorating this year ;D I'll have to get Firefox (Not Clint Eastwood!) to get it to display properly. Nice Job Kris. I'll find you something else to put on the shelves  Paul |

Hmmm. Other than a flashing "updated" notice, I don't see any difference between IE and Firefox.

Still nothing. I see that it is different form the way it used to be but IE and Firefox look the same for me except for the flashing "updated."

Andy The notable difference I encountered while developing the pages was on the main page - IE does not correctly space the table content. In theory, there is supposed to be no difference, but I have encountered a few quirks here and there with various designs. IE, really, really, really likes pages made with Front Page (gee, wonder why?) and the old Netscape Composer and now Dreamweaver sometimes results in display issues. Not always - some of that's also dependent on local settings. I use Dreamweaver exclusively for designing and updating, even though the source code does say Front Page. That's what Marc used and when I started updating, I just left the metadata as is. I threw the heads up in there to avoid getting any e-mails about how the page looks like this or like that - it's designed specifically for Firefox, and some problems may arise with IE. In particular, IE 7 - IE 6 framed pages differently (much better, IMO) than 7 does - so if you are running 6, you may not see any differences. |

There's also an icon for the main web page You can see that? I can't and I had all but given up on trying to make that work, even though it's really a simple script. I wonder why I still can't see it? |

That's how I know how to do it: www.chami.com/tips/Internet/110599I.htmlI know it's for IE5 but I haven't had to do it in a long time. I'm not aware of any way to do it with scripts, but I'm just a Java dude  |
