I've been re-designing my site, just due to how flat it all looks, and I've been using firefox, bloody grand piece of software for design, and then i get back to have a look in IE and I notice that my image is being a tard, I had to use absolute positioning to get it all to stick well, that's the problem.

Anybody know a way I could get round that in the header?

I've got more questions but I'll leave them for now, (nav going flat, js links & the pink gradient limited by the content)

Server not found.

I recommend going off to find out all the things IE tends to render incorrectly (google for something like IE css hacks), in your travels you are bound to answer a few of your own questions.

Strange that you're getting 'server not found' working for a few people over here. I'll have a look at some IE hacks, I'm sure I can just have a fiddle with the header, just honestly ran out of steam on it all for now.

working now...odd. Looks nice. How about replacing the H1 title, along with the image with one big image replacement technique (ie: style the H1 so the text is hidden, background image etc etc). Rather than just hiding the H1 and then having an image in the content.

good plan batman, i'll be making my h1 a link though and links within the css go a bit random sometimes. i'll play.

keeping photos on your homepage is retarded. Use flickr!!

Okay i've had a random play about but I don't know how the site looks in IE7 or Opera, can anyone tell me what it's like? I think IE7 is being a bugger but who knows.

Thanks if you can help.

The spambots are going to love how easy it is to harvest your e-mail address.

Dusteh · 30-11-2006, 19:09

I don't think that is bot proof?

I'm glad to help...

I can only speak for IE 7, and it looks fine.

Also, "switch" top right -- I'm not quite seeing how that works other than returning to the home page. Are you planning a graphic/color change for this at some point? I'm sure it's still in the works, but I just thought I'd ask.

Sure is! Work in progress at the moment. probably about 80% completion, still things to work about with. just having a good ol' play with scriptalicous at the moment.

Not quite all-right in Opera

cheers for that, bugger. In FF the container sits nice only needing top padding to drop that down a little bit but in IE i've got another setting where it needs about 125px margining from the top, it's so random; not sure how i'm going to get round that with Opera. I'll think of a way

IE(6 and lower) cannot display transparent PNGs. Read this

Funny you would mention a gradient background. You should start reading ALA, look at this article. I think this is what you are looking for? Make sure you read the comments, always a few more good tips in there.
