CSS displays differently in every browser. does the hosting server
support ASP? CGI/Perl? or SSI? that way, you can create server side
includes. one for the body tag , one for the frames etc... can put CSS
in it for the text formatting that works in all browsers. if you can use
CSS then you can use javascript:) call up a .js file and befire each
CSS/html line of code, put the javascript command that tells it to write
it to the page. did that make sence? not sure if it did or not.

Hello,

I am currently redesigning a project I started about 2 years ago. I am,
however, having internal conflicts with the design. My questions are as
follows.

1. The entire site is driven by CSS, there are no <font> tags anywhere
(if
there are, I am trying to remove them).
2. The entire site is framed. Due to advertising and branding
convenience
this seemed the most logical approach..
3. the majority of the Advertising banners have been done in flash.

How safe am I in doing these things? I am trying to make it as
convenient as
possible to update and change the color schemes on every page, without
taking the hours it would take to retrace steps.
I am still of the old school. I still code everything by hand using
Notepad.

Another thing that I was wondering was, is there a way to click on a
link in
the navigation, and change the contents of 2 frames @ once? This would
be
most helpful considering most of the sections have or will have many
subsections to them. If anyone would like a sneak peak, the test
contents
are currently @ 208.62.141.100. Keep in mind it hasn't released yet.

Any help or input greatly appreciated
