In all fairness to Bill, I'm going through the html and trying to find and fix the errors, uploading it and checking it on the validator. I really am a newbie and out of my depth. I am trying to determine which doctype to use -- not sure what works where, etc -- but that's not for a CSS list... I apologize for not knowing enough to have this all worked out before posting. I was rushing around to try to get it out and I didn't even think of valiation. > > You have tried to use a div more than once rather than a class.

I tried to look at what would be required to get png transparency to work and I have no idea of how to work around roll over issues. I don't want to be offensive to IE users either. But, our products are all OS X, so the largest group on our site really are Safari users. And I guess there's also the principal of the matter that MS have purposefully made IE use proprietary code to try to muscle out competition. So, it's a hard decision for me to make. I don't know how to fix the issues in IE and IE users are unlikely to buy our products anyway. Thanks for the help. I hope you guys will look at my site again after I get my html sorted out.
