Hmm. I've always had Stylesheets turned on, since, as far as I know, they
are not a security problem. I tried visiting the same page with them
turned off and it is indeed different. The main problem that I see is
the darkness of the background (especially the "BUILD" blocks), with
the small black text on top of it.
However, thanks for looking into it. You were right about the Netscape
version, however - its 4.72 on X on Linux.

Don't design inefficiency in - it'll happen in the implementation.

| There's a known bug, at least in the Mac version of Netscape 4.x where turning off Javascript also turns off stylesheets. You must browse a lot of shady sites if you're that concerned about JavaScript security breeches ;-) (...) (23 years ago, 10-May-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)
