Val,
I loaded the pages as changed into Netscape 4.77 on an old 233 mhz machine and
also into Internet Explorer 5.01 on a newer 800mhz machine. The pages on the
233 changed just like any other webpage - it would take a long half second
blink. On the 800 with Explorer, most of the time there was no discernible
change - occasionally I would get a flash.
The biggest change, and I think which was all you needed to do, was that
percentage change Angys pointed out. Now all the pages load exactly in the
same place, exactly the same size.
Looks good! :-)
