Norms and standards are there to be used and respected
This website was built with the idea to be conform to the W3C norms for web documents. Namely, these are XHTML 1.0 and CSS 2.1.
They were first drafted in 1998, so over 3 years before I started developing the website in its current form. This also means developers had three years to adapt their browsers to understand the norms.
If you use a browser, that still doesn't handle XHTML 1.0 and CSS 2.1 correctly, then don't be surprised if everything looks scrunched. In this case go and blame your browser's developers but leave me alone.
I make my pages compliant to the norms and standards (you can verify this by clicking on either one of the W3C logos at the bottom of each page). That's all I can do to ensure they can be viewed with any browser. If some developers feel they know it better and don't respect the norms, then you have full rights (and I would strongly advise you) to drop their browser and use one which was programmed correctly.
If I were you, I would switch to a browser using a recent version of the Gecko Rendering Engine like the excellent Mozilla (Firefox) or Netscape 7.x. Microsoft Internet Exploder 6.x is also known to show the site more or less correctly. Opera 7.x has problems with fonts defined in style sheets.
I don't recommend to view the site with a resolution smaller than 800x600 pixels. The higher the resolution is, the better.
I use a 1280x1024 resolution when I develop the site. I ensure the site can be viewed correctly with Firefox (mostly some development version) on Linux and Windows. I also shortly test it with the Internet Exploder 6.x so that you can at least read the stuff. I don't garanty anything for the latter.
Schwicky.net was officially opened on January 30th, 1999.
