I know this page breaks in Opera (it doesn't in my NS7 though). There
are more examples that work just fine in also Netscape and Opera, like
<http://home.wanadoo.nl/b.de.zoete/v...d_tabellen.html>

I kind of like the running of the menu alongside the view port as you
scroll up or down with Opera, dont you ;-) )

Still, Quirks, to me I see no answer to the initial question: What is
not useful about Quirks (not singeling out that one page. Remember, like
(save side) 90% (or more) of all pages out there are not standard
compliant)?

Very amusing inverse scroll. Never could do it if trying !

I never intended to suggest "not useful about Quirks" -- in fact my
Template (now many pages) depends on Quirks IE. My complaint
was with your page not working in Opera and Netscape. Now I've
learned that it does work on line in Netscape. (The saved version
does not for a reason never to be determined.)

lol I really have no idea what triggers it. Haven't had time to look in
to it yet.

Sorry about that, than. I misunderstood. We seem to agree on this point.
