get that one covered, especially as it wasn't too much trouble to do so! You're right about the menu of course. I'll give some thought to implementing a 'skip to nav' solution. cheers, Stuart John D Wells wrote: Stuart- Well done, the site is playing very nicely with Safari and IE5.2! Layout

Well I wish I could offer a solution, but right now all I can give you is as problem. Mac Safari looks great, but IE 5.2 looks pretty rough. The main header content stretches to the left overlapping the navigation, obstructing not only view but also clickability of the nav items (they're
