Hi,

I found a really cool example of curved text:
http://www.kevinfreitas.net/pro/arti.../sample02.html

(Normally you would turn off the border of the boxes so that you just see curved text).

I'd really like to use it, but it only works properly in IE, not Netscape. In Netscape (6.2.3) the text flows into the boxes of the div.

I don't know the subtle quirks of the different browsers well enough to spot why it doesn't work in Netscape, but I'd really like to use this. Can anyone tell why it doesn't work in Netscape, and how to fix it so that it works in both?

Incidentally, the page that explains the technique is:

TIA

works ok in 7.1. NS 6.2 was a pretty buggy version.

Just had a play with it on my test site and adding a valid DTD to the page will improve things a little.

Have been working on an article for this. Might just link to that one instead

Hi,

Sorry, don't understand. (Rather new to this stuff).

I thought a DTD was for XML.

Can you give me an example?

Thanks.

Oh, ok, I understand what you're saying.

The problem is, I'm trying to implement this technique on my own page where I do have a valid DTD declaration. However, it doesn't work on my page either in 6.2.3.

I added the DTD declaration to the doctype of the sample above. No difference.

Ok, I think I figured it out. To get it to work in Netscape you have to
1. Add a DTD declaration
2. Remove POSITION: relative in DIV.wrap_area P.

Problem with this solution is the curve of the text is under the square right border of the image, but I think if the image had a transparenent background, it would work.
