Hi Jean-Marc, thank you for your response. I am using clean_and_blue because it is the closest thing that comes to my concept for a new skin. Apparently, the designer is having some problems with IE too, so it was a bad choice, given my computer knowledge.
Anyway, let me work out a few more details within the next two or three days so that I can get it displayed. Then, I will contact you for further assistance. Regards and thank you for your helpfulness.
