From: Jeff Thies on 19 Jul 2010 13:03 Dorayme, I need a quick look at a couple things in IE8. My IE8 stopped working and I feel lucky to have a dinged up version of IE6. I'm not thinking well of MS... not at all. Existing site remade in new template and CMS (old was 2005) new site is in /test: I have some problems in IE6 and I wonder if they persist in IE8. http://www.brawnerassociates.com/test/index.html The top of the side nav should be at the same height as the top of the content in the next column. In IE6 "Home" is too high. It's ignoring the padding of it's container. http://www.brawnerassociates.com/test/live_event_production/project_management.html The first thumb is shifted left. It's ignoring it's left margin. Also, see if the left column under here: http://www.brawnerassociates.com/test/live_event_production/lighting_design.html If this looks OK in IE7/IE8 then I'll just move on... :) All this is in a version of my new SEO friendly content before nav... Thanks, Jeff

Everyone has dropped it, including corporations like Google.

Learn about flexible layouts. I don't care for horizontal scrollbars. Won't fit in my window. The 'boxes.css' file seems to be missing. Your font size is too small for me to read. Let me choose. http://tekrider.net/html/fontsize.php (which is a flexible page) At my preferred size, the menu says Inside the Design <-- if I *reduce* I see "Studio" ---------- Why is only part of the menu items clickable? Top row is blue and hence *looks* like a link, but isn't. Contrast on content text is too light. Black is better. Links in footer are flyspeck in size. The actual 'design' is pretty good. -- -bts -Four wheels carry the body; two wheels move the soul

I am starting to worry less and less about IE6 too. -- dorayme
