you can get the same effect with just CSS (especially for the purposes
of the example given initially).
With regards to background image positioning, I'm fairly sure there is

Hi Lyn,
I've tested it in IE7 and it works ok, but just isn't working in IE6
(it loads but is blue at one end rather than white). The reason for
this is that you're using a transparent PNG which isn't supported on
IE6 and below. There are tons of examples of this (and how to fix it)

Only if they are PNGs with alpha transparencies - these are not
supported in IE6 amongst others (although there are hacks). If it's
just a straightforward image, then PNG will be absolutely fine.

I don't personally have a problem with having iphone in a URL as it is
generally used for applications that are very specific to the iphone. Yes,
perhaps there should be versions for other devices (e.g. Nokia) but the

If it's a mac issue, the most usual cause is that full keyboard access isn't
enabled. Solve this by going to System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse ->
Keyboard Shortcuts -> select the "All Controls" radio button in the full

Completely unrelated but a minor bugbear from me - If you disable images,
then you can't read your links as they are white and the usual browser

It depends on how Microsoft are going to get users to upgrade - If they do a
forced upgrade then that figure could go down and presumably if a service
pack for vista comes out it will include IE8 in it by default so hopefully
it will be more like a year and a half rather than 2 and a half.

I agree, the page that microsoft loads by default in IE8 (their own site)
breaks horribly because of an embedded map - You'd think that they would fix
the start-up page of the new beta as it doesn't really give off the best
impression!

There is an attribute in HTML but this is usually for the
purpose of defining the address of the author (rather than the address
of what you're discussing in the content).
The best thing to do would be to use the hCard microformat which is
