Re: [Dynapi-Help] Problem with setClip

[Leif W <war...@us...>]

Hi

I've taken the snippet of code, wrapped it in a basic HTML page, and opened
it in 4 browsers all next to each other, and took a screenshot.
http://dynapi.kicks-ass.net/DynAPI_CVSROOT/test/div_clip_test/div_clip_test.gif
(45kb, 1600x1200).  Clockwise from top-left corner is Mozilla 1.5 beta,
Mozilla Firebird 0.6.1, Opera 7.11, Internet Explorer 6).

Both Mozillas don't clip the first, and both clip the second, so they're
acting the same, which is little surprise.  Opera 7.11 clips the text but
displays the <div> as if the text were still there.  (HUH?  WTF?)  Internet
Explorer 6 doesn't seem to clip anything, it merely "shrink-wraps" the <div>
to the text.

So the trick then becomes, when doing things with CSS in the API, (either as
API developers or API users) what else can we do to make things look as much
the same as possible?  This would seem to be a big problem to handle, but
maybe there's some simple ways to work around it.
