CSS and IE and Safari 1.0
I always post source snippets and log file excerpts and stuff like that. For this I use the PRE tag so the stuff is displayed preformatted and in a monospaced font. It works well with all browsers. But a couple of browsers are giving me quite a bit of trouble. First of all Safari 1.0 - ok, that's inevitably dying out and is only a problem in that the horizontal scrollbar obscures the bottom line. You can work around that if necessary with a blank line.
But IE for Windows is also acting up - users tell me that the width is always complete, without a scrollbar. I don't have Windows here, I can't test it here, but that would be annoying of course - I can't use PRE on the front page, otherwise it messes up the layout.
Really extreme is IE 5.5 Mac: it hides the PRE completely. And I don't understand why. They simply aren't displayed. The page validates of course. Well, IE Mac 5.5 will hopefully soon be extinct too and the poor folks still using it have my sympathy, but no source code.
But for Windows IE I'd be grateful for a tip on the CSS problem. If you can fix it with normal CSS means and without too heavy-handed hacks, I could build that in. Here's an example article with PRE blocks.
