There's a reason why I pinged Dorayme, she wasn't going to put me
through this.

The site's customers are looking for high end lighting and staging
design. The visuals of the site are more important than having a site
that is flexible or is readable at 4X text zoom. It actually holds up
well at zoom, not that I care.

An artifact I should remove. This is my new standard template.

A pain to set up that way. I may fix later.

Yes it is, not mine of course, I just implemented it. It makes the
client a lot of money so it suits it's purpose. It would be a poor site
if it needed disability access, but it doesn't. It does what it needs to do.

BTW, I rewrote all this for $600 (including the back end), I just want
to be done with it!

You have worked hard for your dough! Tell them if they don't pay
you pronto I have men that can visit them to have "a chat", they
might come on big motorbikes if the weather is nice, or a big
black limo with tinted windows if it is a gloomy day... <g>

I've recently come into a small inheritance some 4 years after Mom is
gone. Little 3 bedroom houses in a cute cut off neighborhood are going
for 10K (and renting for $700 or so), I'm trying to get two and should.
Cash is King as you cannot finance that little. Maybe they should each
come with a website...

I'm feeling good as I had no retirement investment and $600 web
projects wasn't heading me toward financial security. We're a creative
resourceful lot here and it'll be great fun.

Good. I wasn't planning on dealing with any more IE6 quirks anyways. I
remember when I dropped support for NS4, what a happy day!

I just can't get IE7 or IE8 to run, I suppose I'll have to do a fresh
windows install some time... Urge to kill Bil Gates suppressed...

In the meantime, you can always go to at browsershots, for a
quick and superficial static check, at least it is a clue. I am
running IE on a virtual box on an Intel Macbook, seems to work a
treat.
