Layout critigue wanted

Happens both on Firefox and Safari :p

Besides, there's nothing to "fix" for Safari if you use proper CSS :D My guess is that you are running into problems because you are using a mix of HTML tables, CSS positioning and width/height relevant code in both at the same time.

Tried the pure css, remember? Seriously: I'll have a look at the css to eliminate double entries on height/width. That's probably the problem.

That was what I finally did with the StopSylviaBrowne layout.

Sad, but it was the only way I could get it to work correctly in IE, at least within the time that I had. :(

Noted. I kind of like it though .;) Particular since I'm contemplating having the banner change on refresh.

Overheard in New York (awesome site) does this. Their header is about 2/3 the size of yours, maybe half. I like that size.

I used JPG originally on this due to the fact that I had problems with the alpha channel on the PNG's. However since I've managed to dig up a solution to the IE problems with those that is about to change. I am currently working on shaving down graphics sizes along with the layout finetune and simply haven't gotten to that one yet.

I saw that javascript (i'm nosy, I usually do a view source on pages as well as look at them). What an ugly fix, I hope IE 7 straightens up, although we'll probably be stuck with this kind of crap for years.


ETA: Just out of curiosity: Which screen resolution are you using?

I was at work at the time. 2 monitors (don't ask how I managed that!) at 1280x1024 each.

I'll give it some thought....

You're not the only one whos nosys :). Yes it's ugly, but it works. IE 7 should be 100% PNG compatible including the alpha channel, but your prediction of having to deal with bad fixes for several years are probably correct. I mean, if you take a look at the monthly statistics on this site, there are still people out there using IE 5.0......:jaw-dropp

Thank you for the heads up. Means I'm going in the right direction. Do you by anychance have access to the IE 5.5 for Mac?

IIRC 5.2 is the latest (and last) release of the IE for Mac. The fonts all look different with it, but the site is readable.
