I don't know if this will help, but I've posted a side-by-side screen shot of how
the site looks in IE 5 and Netscape 4.05 (each browser is opened to a width of about
640 pixels:

I've completed the macros section of twysted.net, with all functions now
working. you can search, submit and view macros now.

The next section I'll work on is the links.. Ken, care to take this position
once I get the system in place? =D

Also, ideas on how to do the texture library and include library?
(organization, etc, etc.)
For the textures, should I do pages of thumbnails with links to the
individual code? Also, should I collect textures into larger, topical
include files as well as have individual code, and possibly Moray .MTX
files?

Include files - do a rendering of what they do? (for user-submissions, I
think this will entail doing image uploads on your part.)

Just some ideas. And since I'm still coding this thing, if you find any
errors while checking it out, PLEASE let me know, either here, or thru
e-mail. Also, please send details. Browser, OS, etc. etc. so I can debug it.

thanx,
Twyst

Odd.  I'm viewing it with Netscape 4.5 and I have no problem with width.
It looks a lot like the IE version in your screen shot.

That's because Twyst is very receptive to criticism and already corrected that.
Man, he's quick.

I'm not seeing anything wrong here using Netscape 4.61, the latest(?)
version. Even resizing the window does fine.
The layout looks good to me, text is ok too using a 800x600 screen res
anyway.
I noticed the antialiased fonts in the blue backgrounds kind of cause a
small clashing with the italics or the main header (twysted.net). That's
just aesthetics maybe but I had to come up with a negative statement you
know.

Arrggghhhh, still some comments: 
I had some problems with the width of the page again. (well, first time
to me).
I have only one idea why, that's relative size adding up to 100% in
child tables. Though I did not cross check it. (It's the 15%-85% table
on the complete list page).
All on netscape 4.08 on solaris (do you know all surfing habits by heart
by now?)
Another tip for the textareas in display:
add a readonly flag, netscape wont check it, but IE does. According to
my german reference selfhtml. (for german lawyers: don't go there!!)

argh^2, forgot two things:

Missing is a mail link to you. Or such thing like a contact and
contributors page. At least a comments-button.

How about adding the author to the searchables in the macro area? Same
to includes and textures as well.

    Although I am sure you don't need any more work, could I suggest an
"Comments" section of your macro library? A place where a Happy User could
thank the author and tell folks how they used the Fine Macro that just
solved all their problems...<personal story snipped>

Well done, your pages are now OK using Netscape 4.06.
Like the layout, will be submitting macros soon.

Good points.

There is a reason for the textarea not being readonly. It's FAR easier to
select the text if the readonly isn't set. I could always forego the
textareas, and use <pre> and <code>.


Yea, I know I forgot a mail link. That's gonna go in later. =D
Adding the author is a good idea. I'll do that.
