Element dimensions in Netscape 4.5 (already posted in n.p.d.c)

[Markus Ernst]

Sorry for the multipost, there was no reaction in netscape.public .dev.css.

Is it possible to make Nescape 4.5+ display this element:

#detailXplan {
position:absolu te;
top:0px;
left:254px;
width:506px;
height:530px;
visibility:visi ble;
z-index:2;
background-color:#ffffff;
layer-background-color:#ffffff;
overflow:auto;
}

506 pixel wide and 530 pixel high if there is not much content, without
using a table and transparent gifs, and without violating the standards any
more? Actually it shrinks the element size to the amount of content.

If you want to have layer-background-color cover a rectangle of a
certain width and height for NN 4 you need to use
clip: rect(0px, 506px, 530px, 0px);
Of course content will be clipped and overflow is not supported.

Thank you, that helps me a lot.

As long as it does not disturb modern browsers - who would ask for more :-)
