Question for Net Gurus My New Aviation Videos

I don't have any idea how to make videos work with older software. (Hell, I
barely know how to make it work with *newer* software! :-)

See, for this "Standards" were invented. If you just encode a "standard"
*.mpg (As in Mpeg 1, see google for details) you make everybody happy.
Like People running Mac OS, Linux, Unix, BeOS and whatnot. Even People
running older Windows' will be able to watch that.

Unfortunately M$ makes it so damn hard to encode "standard" mpeg,
because they like to have their own "standard", as in: "It works if you
run run the latest windows".

Can't you upgrade to a newer version for free?

Newer version of what?

Cheers,

Can anyone tell me how to make the Rogue's Gallery page automatically scale
to whatever screen resolution the user is running?

For example, if someone has their screen set to 800 x 600 (rather than 1024
x 768) resolution, they have to "side-scroll" the "Rogue's Gallery" page.
This is NOT fun.

Yet other websites look okay no matter what your screen resolution is set
to. Somehow they "know" what your resolution is, and scale themselves
accordingly.

Can't be done. The window resolution isn't even available in CGI (the
screen resolution is, but not the window).

What most other websites are probably doing is *not* using layouts
with fixed sizes for things, and letting the browser figure it out for
itself. Or having a narrow fixed-width bar in the left margin and
letting the rest format as it likes.

I was talking at George, and referring to Netscape.

That's the way I took it. I might do that eventually, Jay. I'm still getting
comfortable with the new computer. I loaded 4.79 'cause I have the CD for that.

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."

Netscape 4 is badly broken in CSS support, and CSS is the solution
most people are adopting to being reasonably cross-browser. And most
of us have given up trying to support Netscape 4. Current version is
7...
