Hi, It's never the !DOCTYPE fault. Without it Firefox assumes that you're in quirks mode so it renders as you've been developing for IE5. When you're in standards mode, width doesn't include padding (padding adds to the width), so you have to subtract the left and right padding and also accou

Hi, Raul: Nice looking website. Top grey text could in fact use more contrast. I also think that it is a shame that the text in the menu was converted for such small images. There was no need for it as the font used is pretty common and you lost there a lot of usability and accessibility, as
