RE: topmargin/leftmargin validation

FWIW,

I am *personally* familiar with the local school district's technology -
too familiar.

I can tell you unequivocally that upwards of 85 % of the computers in this
district do not use MSIE ~at all~.

Something on the order of 65-70% of those, are running NN3.X OR LOWER.

The big exception being district administrative offices where the wouldn't
know a mouse from a moose if it fell on them. They are using MSIE 5.X and
Ouchlook Express.

Again, FWIW.
Fuzzy.
