hi.

'they say' there are problems with the rendering of
www.think4inc.com/ls/ which is a proto of a directory on the subject of ink
and printing.

the problem: screen not drawing all the way, big polar bear in snowstorm at
screen bottom.

the browser: IE6

i can reproduce by setting IE caching at bottom and telling it to check for
new page each visit. then the screen doesn't draw to bottom each time, i
have to refresh.

i think that's what they're talking about. what do you see?

Safari user input also welcome.

tia!

Polar bear? What polar bear?

 > Polar bear? What polar bear?

Grabbing the source, I find a reference to an image in the css file

..content li {
list-style-image: url("/images/earth_bullet.gif");
font-size: .9em;
padding-bottom: .9em;
}

but that image has been visited by the 404 Fairy.

Both of these give me a 404 ("file not found"):
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.think4inc.com/images/earth_bullet.gif" target="_blank">http://www.think4inc.com/images/earth_bullet.gif</a>
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.think4inc.com/ls/images/earth_bullet.gif" target="_blank">http://www.think4inc.com/ls/images/earth_bullet.gif</a>

Both of these give me a 403 ("forbidden"):
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.think4inc.com/images/" target="_blank">http://www.think4inc.com/images/</a>
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.think4inc.com/ls/images/" target="_blank">http://www.think4inc.com/ls/images/</a>
so I can't check in the directory for a misspelled file name.

No sign of a polar bear.

in there.

i think it was the IE settings, if it pulled down a fresh page with every
visit and caching was turned off, the page orange wasn't drawing to the
bottom of the screen.

thanks Norman and Matt.
