AOL influence on web design? I have seen more than one case in which my web pages have a different appearance (e.g. padding in some cases...) on an AOL user's device using, say, IE7, from the manner in which they display using bare IE7. Is there any influence that AOL has upon CSS/document display? (I ask, because I am *not willing* to install and use AOL on my system!) Started By apfwebs on Mar 25, 2007 at 1:19:31 PM

That entails that anything you do not specify may look different from your expectations. Use a reshack (resource hacker) or a similar program, find out which files on your vanilla installation contain the default stylesheets. Get someone (using AOL) to mail you a copy of those files. Use reshack again to find out for sure. apfwebs on Mar 26, 2007 at 7:57:27 AM (# 2) Er...I'm not quite sure I understand, and I'm especially sure the AOL user(s) wouldn't understand: where may I find a reshack program? Where might I find a "reshack" utility or, more handily... Where might I sniff out the (extra) CSS sheet(s) AOL is inserting in the chain: locally on the client machine or somewhere up on an AOL server? But then again, I suppose this is where the "reshack" comes in handy: doesn't matter where the CSS comes from, "reshack" just reveals its contents, no?
