Thanks for the help! I'm not sure why I didn't think of checking validation first and foremost. All those errors have been fixed. The problem with the size of the page is that it is php driven, and the content could change based on my client's needs so it has to be a bit more dynamic, hense having the images show on one page with the accordian javascript. I'm ok with the degradation of it to a full menu of images, and I guess even though it loads a bit slow because of size and server calls, the javascript hides all but the first section of the gallery so the user would not be waiting for more than the first set of images correct? The deal with the large indexworkbg file being a gif is because of the transparency. That was about as small as I could get it, which obviously 80kb is quite large, but I need the transparency on it since it's circular. Perhaps I'll scale it down a bit and see if that helps a bit. Thanks for your help.
Tim PS: Whitespace is still there, but I'm so close to saying "screw it, IE will always have a few bugs that can't be worked out. I simply can't figure it out. Like why the whole div shifts on the "Largest" setting, causing the bg to bump down. Who knows....
