Hi all,
	I've got several pages with quite a lot of text on them.  I know that on 
monitors with large resolutions, such text can be difficult to read if it isn't 
wrapped so I decided to put in a javascript function to test the width of 
the current window and if it's greater than 800px, then insert a little inline 
stylesheet that should set the width of the table to about 600px wide, but 
although the script looks right, it's not working in either NS or IE.  The 
script seems to run in NS, but it doesn't seem to support the CSS that 
I'm using, and the script doesn't seem to run at all in IE, which does 
support the CSS, so I'm in a bit of a quandry.  If I remember to upload it, 
you should be able to find the URL at:

Thanks,
Raj.

Um, I tend to either agree or disagree with you
