To subscribe to this list | send email to majordomo@htmlscript.com with the following on the | *first line* of the message body (not the subject): | | subscribe miva-users youremail@domain.com | | Email your questions to: hts-users@htmlscript.com | | global variables | | DESCRIPTION: | | These variables are used throughout the program. | graphic location variables | | DESCRIPTION: | | These variables are used to reference graphics. | They are relative by default to run through Miva Mia, and | may need to be edited to evaluate properly if the | application is to be run through Miva with a | conventional "cgi-bin/miva?..." URL. | | This little snippet of code demonstrates how you can check to see | if the user is running a specific version of Netscape or Microsoft's | browser. | | We make this check because not all versions of IE or Navigator support | background images in table cells. | | So, if the browser doesn't support table cell background images, | then the user will just have to live with "columns" that don't dynamically | grow and shrink with the size of the data. | Begin HTML with background image, | menu bar, and main container table.
