Re: [APML] Browser artifacts (was Lighthouse Moon)

["Chris & Jennifer Cook" <ccjd@ix.netcom.com>]

Chris, Philipp, Robert and Grant, thanks for your feedback!

This is way too weird.  Here's the breakdown of user reports:

                        Artifacts                              No artifacts

Philipp -         Netscape 4.51                IE6.0, Netscape 7.0
Chris S. -       Netscape 4.7                            ?
Robert R. -     Netscape 4.7                  Netscape 7.0
Grant -            Netscape 6.0                  IE
Myself -          Netscape 4.76                IE5.0

I hope this chart comes through ok.

Looks to me like earlier versions of Netscape have some sort of problem.  So
what's the deal?  The image looks fine in Photoshop too.
I thought I had seen it all.....  maybe this should be a software
challenge... find out why these artifacts appear in certain version
browsers.  Any software developers out there?

Chris
