Works well in all the browsers I tested with IE 6, Opera 7.21, Mozilla, NN 4.x. Note that in NN 4.x resizing is slow but does eventually happen. If you have many NN 4.x visitor, especially those with earlier versions you might want to put in the Netscape resize fix. While I like simple, it might

No, it isn't necessary not even for xhtml strict as long as you have the character info in a meta tag as Drew says. It is only necessary if it is true xml. Here's a list of browsers that have problems with the xml prolog http://www.webstandards.org/learn/reference/prolog_problems.html Zeldman

Removing the prolog won't invalidate xhtml. Your page will likely be served as text/html and not application/xhtml+xml. So arguably it will actually improve the page. The overflow goes on the container not the img tag. Not in the office so I can't give you the url to look at but its hebig's url.

Matt, At 1024 resolution it looks great, a lot cleaner than the previous version. One concern might be that you are losing a lot of space at the top of the screen with the corporate identity stuff. It takes up about a third on 800 by 600 and you also have a vertical scroll, but I assume that's
