                      | I setup a lot of networks and the first thing I do to any workstation that has Netcrap on it is..... REMOVE IT! 
 It's too much of a hassle and I don't like the Java modules it loads to view java.
 
 IE is the best route, but I know you do have to make it Netcrap friendly :(
 
 MS should just buy Sun out.. Heck they own a ton of stock in them and Linsux (Red Hat) Bill is just setting them up to take them out.
 
 But the first step is to get rid of Linsux. It's Great for hackers, but for the biz end of it.. It's very bad. But good for me :)  I've spent the last 6 months removing Linsux and replacing with Win2k... Win2k still has issues, but They are really starting to hack the Linsux servers up... Guess that's what you get for putting out the Code for a OS!

                      | so there will be no fix for netscape? 
 ya i know previously just changed our entire sites after i noticed everything look weird and stuff end up being places they not suppose to be and the tables shows all weird so i spend few days TRYING hard to fix it. I really don't like netscape either but people still use it so I have no choice but to try hard and make the entire page look good in both browsers.

                      | He fixed the first post... Just replace it with the code you already have installed.

                      | But don't both fix look alike?  Only change was for it to be centered and Rick already told me before to center it and i did. but it still dont' work on netscape 4.7 but someone test it on netscape 6 and it works. thanks though I already had up a  note that our forum required the use of explore.

                      | i tested it with netscape 4.7 and it works fine
 
 i added <form> tags
 
 just replace your function with the one in the first post
 and you should get it working in both
 
 it does work
 tested it :)

                      | sorry drop down working on both netscape and Explore
 
 also is there a way  I can make all the drop down the same size? because some of our mods names are longer and some are smaller  and the drop down sizes are differen so maybe I can change the size of the drop down to 15?
 
 if you can't thats Ok
 thanks alot for the mod

                      | this is a dirty, very very dirty way of doing what your trying to do 
 you need to read all the moderators names before you display them
 and find out the length of the biggest one
 when you have the biggest one
 
 just add blank spaces to the rest to become the same size
 
 tip: its not worth the trouble of programming just for this
 its upto you though

                      | ya I already know which mod name have the biggest characters length but am going add   2more to the size.

                      | let say you have 
 Forum1
 --------------
 DudeTheModerator
 DudeTheMod
 Dude
 
 Forum2
 ---------------
 GuyTheLongNamedModerator
 GuyModerator
 SomeDude
 
 letsay you have those as your moderators for your forums
 
 what you need to do is
 PROGRAMMICALLY
 call and read the length of EVERY single moderator you have
 
 which means you will read all the 6 above
 DudeTheModerator will be read first let say
 
 it has lenght of 16
 when you read the next one, its has length of lower than 16
 you dont anything yet
 you go on the next and next until you either find a bigger one
 or you reach the end of the list
 in this case you will come across GuyTheLongNamedModerator
 which has length of 25
 
 so now you got the length of the longest moderator name
 
 now you need to send this length into listForumModerators function (of course you have to modify this function to make it work properly)
 and this function will take in the lenght of the longest moderatorname
 
 and when its displaying actually displaying them in the drop down
 you need to read the lenght of those moderator names again
 and now you will compare them to 25
 if they are < 25
 you will add white spaces to it to make it upto 25
 
 by the way, for each forum you only need to have ONE moderator name upto 25 chars (if its not actually 25 chars, you add spaces to it)
 that way the drop down will automatically be for 25 chars so you dont need to do add spaces to the rest
 
 in short
 
 each forum must have Atleast one of the names to be the same length size as the LONGEST among all moderators for other forums
 
 now is doing all that worth it?
 if it is
 have fun programming :)
 or you can pay me large amount of money so i can make this work for you
 hehe

                      | lol well umm I sure can't do it because all I know about asp is editing asp files thats about it. But i figured out a way to make all the sizes width even. I saw this one vbulletin board is add like another account with this name --------------  and make it long enough for all of them to look even then change that acount to moderator and add it for each forum.  also the vbulletin ones have this here is a screenshot 
 
  
 i think having that on the drop down can make the names even or do i still have to pay for this addon

                      | hehe, you still have to pay and lots of it
 
 actually that should work with exception of the fact that you might have a moderator name that is longer than the fixed with you set :)
 to truely set it properly you have to use what i suggested
 other wize just do what vbulletin has :)
 
 i havent recieved my payment for the inial use of this mod
 so when i get that, lets talk about the second payment for making this work
 and i dont want american money, i only like canadian dollars
 he he
 
 but in all seriousness if its soooo very important to you i can write the code for a SMALL fee :)
 i might even make it for free.. depends on if i am on male pms :)
