Reference JavaScript Code Library

These two functions fix the unfortunate Netscape 4 bug that causes the page to lose most of its CSS information when the window is resized. This code can simply be dropped into the head of your document.

Usage: Drop WM_netscapeCssFix() and WM_netscapeCssFixCheckIn() into any script tag, preferably in the head.

// This part was inspired by Matthew_Baird@wayfarer.com
  // It gets around another unfortunate bug whereby Netscape 
  // fires a resize event when the scrollbars pop up. This 
  // checks to make sure that the window's available size 
  // has actually changed.
