Does anyone see anything in the above word between the d and the w? Anything at all? If so, please post your browser and operating system!
More testing; ignore:
Law I. Every body perseveres in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a right line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed thereon.
Law II. The alteration of motion is ever proportional to the motive force impressed; and is made in the direction of the right line in which that force is impressed.
Law III. To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction; or the mutual actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal, and directed to contrary parts.
I see it in Netscape 4.76, but not in IE 5.5. Interestingly, I see the m-dash before “Isaac Newton” in IE, but not in Netscape, where it appears as “—”. I’m on Windows 2000.
DrMatrix, I assume you’re using an older version of Netscape? Like Navigator 4 or something?
Okay thanks everyone. I don’t need any more reports. If the soft hyphen gets rendered incorrectly in some browsers, I won’t use it. I am surprised, however, to see that — does not always get rendered as an em dash! I’ve been using that for months! :eek: Okay, I’ll stop that too. Thanks all.
DrM, I use Netscape 6 and Mac OS 9.2. It is a slower though so you might be better off staying with Netscape 4.79. You can install Netscape 6 in a different folder and compare.
