I guess I'm too dependent on the Flash cool factor. I have changes somewhat. I steer clients away from total Flash sites. Especially after the length of time it took me to make http://www.johngrammatis.com/
So a good rule of thumb is use margins on text and images instead of CSS boxes?
I haven't tested on PC. I need to by a cheap PC to test on.
So it looks fine in Mac IE 5.2.3. That's strange. I have IE 5.2, didn't know there was a newer version. So I just downloaded it and well it looks great. Your right. I guess though for accessibility, I still need to correct the problem for IE 5.2. But now that I installed IE 5.2.3 , I can't open IE 5.2 because it forces it 5.2.3 to open. Frustrations man, frustrations... :)
Sorry. I am so new. I'm not sure what you mean by inheritance for my elements. Are spans bad?
Thanks for your help. I'll add the new classes and hopefully that will help.
Have a great day! Shane Helm

Shane,
It looks fine in all of the Mac browsers I've tried it on... IE 5.2.3, Opera 7.5, Firefox, Safari. Are you having problems with PC versions of IE?
I notice from the CSS that you are not specifically using inheritance for your elements. For example, in the right hand column you have used spans to designate the font sizes.
A better way to handle your CSS, if you wish to give different attributes to different elements, is to use their context to apply them.
For example (in truncated form),
#right p { font-size: 0.9em; margin: 0 0 1em 0; }
#right dl { margin-top: 1em; }
#right dt { font-size: 1.2em; font-weight: bold; }
#right dd
{ font-size: 0.9em;
margin: 0 0 0 0;
}
(Use the dt for the name, Jonny Totten, and dd for the address details.)
Use a span named "qualifications" or something like that for the smaller "CRS" type. (This gives it some semantic meaning.)
One benefit of doing things this way is that you can apply all of your padding and margins to the type and image elements, which avoids some of the nasty IE PC bugs.

It looks superb. Your navigation, however, dependent as it is on Flash, will not please those concerned with the accessibility of websites. (That said, there seems to be no completely cross-platform/browser way of achieving semantically correct cascading navigation.)
