Gina,
There are currently four different "flavors" of HTML.
->The real, true, official, version as sanctioned by CERN and the
W3C which is at (I believe) version 3.2.
->The currently accepted "(draft) standard" version 4.
Unfortunately no one has been strong enough to stand up to
MS or Netscape and force them to comply, so now everybody
is getting more and more confused and frustrated.....
-> Version 4 plus Microsoft's own unique "extended" html tags.
-> Version 4 plus Netscapes own unique "extended" html tags.
As these two companies become more antagonistic towards each other, the
differences become more pronounced. There are now many tags which do not
have corresponding features in the other "extended" version. Case in
point, the watermark ..... Netscape does not have anything that compares
to it.
But to answer your first question.
You make a "floating" browser window by including the "TARGET ="
parameter within an <A HREF=> tag. along with the sub-parameters which
describe the size and placement of the window, And you can also control
if the new window has a menu or toolbar or scrollbar.

From: Dal and Gina Hunkins <[log in to unmask]>
Dear Group: I am developing a FrontPage web that does not load in
Netscape Communicator like it does in MSIE. I am mostly interested in two
aspects:
1. What encoding needs to be placed on pages that open in a new window
(i.e. how do I get them to open up smaller in Netscape like they do in
MSIE . . . so they appear to float over the website)
and
2. How do I make the backgrounds which are watermarks in MSIE work as
watermarks in Netscape.
TIA for any assistance you can offer. I've got to do some HTML study.
