Nice one, Ted, site looks good. I'm particularly impressed with your ratings image: http://us.tech5.yimg.com/tech.yahoo.com/images/20060430165459/bg-ratings .png. Great use of CSS backgrounds to make the ratings work :0)

Tech Hi Matt That was a bug that popped up in the last two weeks and we just didn't find a cure fast enough. Think of it as an entertaining interlude. We're working on that. My pride and joy is the comparison tables. I'll be posting something soon about them. http://tech.yahoo.com/pf/apple/1992981873,1992902872,1991639096,19914666 25,1 991675140 Thanks Ted -----Original Message----- From: listdad@webstandardsgroup.org [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Sent: Monday, May 01, 2006 10:42 AM To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: Re: [WSG] launch of site: Yahoo! Tech Ted, Site looks great! Nice and graphical. I did notice some quirkyness in the "Today's Top Features" banner on the homepage. If you roll over the text in one of the panes onto the image (like rolling onto the pic of the dad with his kids after rolling onto "Is Microsoft Your Only Option?") and rest you mouse on the image, the animation of the pane expanding loops.This only happens with Flash Player 8.5 (I'm running it in FF 1.5.0.2). It's seems to correctly in Flash Player 8.0.24. It sounds like some funky circumstances and a small chunk of the flash player market, but just thought I'd give ya a heads up. Keep up the great work!
