Depending on your browser and font settings, some people may have

problems like you describe. There is nothing that can be down as far

as the site goes about solving the problem.

Hi!

Did you know when you click on that page that some of the words are

superimposed? I noticed this once before when I was doing a web search

on AS.

While I'm at it, thanks for the all the hard work!

Me too. What browser do you have? I have XP Internet Explorer. If I change to override original settings and choose the smallest font then all text stays in place.

How do the pages look to the rest of you guys?

Inger,

I'm running Safari 1.2 web browser on an I Mac with the before

mentioned overlap. With your suggestion I selected 'view', then

selected 'make text smaller' twice to clear up overlap. Now text is

difficult, but not impossible, for me to read.

The text, before any change, takes up only the left 60% of the page.

the 40% on the right is simply background texture. My question would

be: Why can't the text use some of that 40% of the space on the right,

so that overlap simply doesn't occur?

Best of all, thanks for the 'solution'. I've encountered this kind of

overlap occasionally also, but had no idea how to make it readable.

The program is one given by Geocities and fills in whatever portion

of your screen that is disused with blank space.

During the setup process, I have boxes which indicates when text or

pictures overlap and took pains to eliminate overlap when I designed

the site. On the two different programs that I use to read the site,

the text does not overlap. It may overlap for some of you. This is

unfortunate, but I know of no way to circumvent this problem.

Rainbow,

There are no empty lines on my formatting pages. Everything is placed

without significant space and without overlap. Browser settings and

text settings on your computer will cause text and pictures to merge.

I had a computer tech support guy review my page construction and he

said THE number one reason people cannot read web pages is because

they have tampered with their personal settings.

Tom

Tom,

How about eliminating some of the empty lines. Before 'overlap' I get

nine empty lines (spaces between blocks of text) and then overlap of

thirteen lines. Shortening text 'wordage' by only four lines then would

eliminate ALL overlap.

I'm not suggesting that you 'talk' too much, just trying to suggest

ways to eliminate overlap. I'm not an editor!

I have no problem with overlapping, but the fade from one page to the next hurts my eyes, I also find it kind of annoying. I can read and see everything clearly.

Tom,

I may well have tampered! In the last few years I have had seven

operations on my eyes. Genetics! My father became blind before he

passed on. I would be blind now but for 'modern' technology! With

artificial lens, at best I 'see' blurry. I have probably 'set' my fonts

a couple of points higher than 'default' for this reason. Overlap

rarely occurs but now Inger 'showed' me how to correct it. All's well

that ends well.

The problem is with the " div " tags which state

" position:absolute " .

I also get the bottom " <hr> " about 1 1/2 lines into the main

text. I'm using Firefox 1.0.3. As to " changing the settings "

my font size is smaller, but that's within the " DTD HTML 4.0 "

spec. I don't buy the following:

> I had a computer tech support guy review my page construction

First, most people don't know how to change and recompile their

settings and they don't edit code. They don't know how to edit

registry settings They are *unable* to tamper with their

settings.

Second, adjustment of font size, etc. should affect... font

size, etc. It could make text too small or large but should not

change the alignment.

So I did change the " position:absolute " division positions and

they did move, but that didn't fix the problem. Here's why:

As I adjusted text size, the text would still move relative to

the other text. The copyright and " marble.jpg " lines (look like

<hr>'s when reading the page) would remain in place as the text

walks over it.

Those " position:absolute " work best with fixed size attributes

like photos. They obviously block text, which changes according

to web browser and the individual's font size selection.

Incidentally, my font size is smaller than the browser default.

The browser default would be worse.

Clarifying, changing " font size " is not " tampering with personal

settings " . It is a user adjustment setting ( " view " menu item on

Firefox). Most browser change " on the fly " with <ctrl><+>

<ctrl><-> Netscape 4.7 (4.8) uses <ctrl><[> <ctrl><]>

Incidentally all of the Netscape 4.8 does show it without

superimposing elements, but some of the elements that don't fit

are moved to the bottom of the page so it looks sort of

randomized.

Aha! Now it's starting to make sense.

So, what does one do about it?
