side note to my presentation



Just wanted to pass along another tidbit aobut dhtml:
When I pulled up my site at home tonight (on IE5, incidentally,) I noticed
that my layers were in the wrong positions.  Upon investigation, I
realized that I had foolishly set my table widths to a %!!
So, thought I would let you know that when you assign absolute positioning
to layers, it is important to be sure that the table will be drawn the
same way everytime!
Also, for some one with 800x600 resolution, the layers will appear in
different places as well.

Interestingly: how about if you detected the user's resoulution and
accomodated for both?  At this site, www.privacy.net/analyze/, you can see
an example of all the info that can be detected from you just by being at
a site.
Pretty cool, eh?
