> Georg, First of all, thanks a million for your help with this. It is a wonderful learning experience. I think it's amazing that so few little changes can have such a great effect. I updated the css files as you told me and now, IE 7 is looking as good as FF & IE8. Even IE 6 is starting to shape up, though I do need to do a bit more research on IE 6. For example, the main navigation links appear without borders and without their background images, and sibling selectors don't work. Do I need to address the IE 'box model' issue to fix the links and the image positions?
I'll have a search for a .png fix for IE6. Thanks for all the great tips! Oh, btw, > When using conditionally commented stylesheets to fix IE, put them after the default stylesheet(s) in the page head. That'll make it easier to override the default stylesheet(s) with IE-specific styles without having to bother with modifying selector specificity to make those IE styles kick in. I tried this as you said but I found I still had to increase specificity on the conditional comments otherwise it didn't seem to work. > http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/onhavinglayout.html I heard good things about that article, looking forward to reading it. Thanks again! >David Thanks very much for the suggestions! Glad you like the cow :) I think I can learn a lot from that layout you sent - it's simpler than what I've been trying. For now though I want to try to push layout ideas out of the markup. But I will work some of your ideas in. I also like what you did with the images. Even the wireframe itself is an interesting look from a design perspective, especially the dots. Thanks :) A couple of little things - does anyone know why: > http://www.blueprintdesign.ie in FF when we zoom out, the background image doesn't stay fixed? Also, in Safari, the 'back to top' button only leaves us half way up the page? Thanks!
