the majority of windows users still use IE so I'd like to fix the
problem.

The issue: When the content of one of my pages

Would this be one of the pages with the problem?
http://home.att.net/~gatorgrad/index2.html

extends beyond the bottom of the screen, IE places a scroll bar on
the right side as it should. However, it doesn't squeeze the content
to make room for it. Instead, I get a scroll bar at the bottom,
allowing the viewer to scroll that little bit to the right to see
what that right scroll bar is covering.

I'd say it is the table columns both set at 50% width. You're not
taking into account default margins. Try setting each to about 48%
and see what happens.

Thanks, I'll try the width suggestion.
[then,]
I tried the width, no difference. :(

At this moment, I still see 50% on the page:

What page have you changed? Specific att.net link to page, please, not a
frames link.


Your column of RSS is blank if JavaScript is disabled. :-(

I didn't understand what you meant about a "column of RSS" and
Javascript being disabled.

Did you mean you had a problem with the RSS since your javascript is
disabled? Do you know a fix for that RSS/Java problem? I really
appreciate your suggestions.

In the page, JavaScript is used to write the HTML. Ex:

// Print out the table containing the headlines
document.writeln("<CENTER><TABLE BORDER="+cluster_border+"
BGCOLOR='#"+cluster_bgcolor+"' WIDTH='"+width+"' CELLPADDING=2
CELLSPACING=0>");
....etc

If I, or any other visitor, has JavaScript disabled for .. security
reasons .. annoyance factor .. stripped by corporate firewalls .. all
that is seen in your right-hand column is empty space.

Oh, if you weren't aware, JavaScript != Java
They are two entirely different animals.
