First link doesn't work...

Second link takes a long time to render...

On your site, last link, you may want to check the menu as it doesn't work, goes behind image below it, using Firefox 2...

You may want to run all thru validation...

EDIT: the shirley hicks top links are too narrow or cut off some how, in ff2...

It's missing the // in http: so SMF sends you to html.com Edit: well it did earlier today and I forgot to reply.

Thanks tyman00 

1. Link to Double Dan in the original msg was due to my own fumble fingers.  Fixed now.

2. Changed the Shirley Hicks banner to a background image to avoid wrapping and overlapping the horiz menu.  Benefit of this also is that the entire banner including rotating images, is now a link back to the home page and link title displays across the whole section.

3. All home pages now validate for HTML.

4. Page load for SuccessMasters is problematic - sometimes really fast and other times slow - suspect cause may be with the host?  There isnt much to d/l other than the flash.  The rest should and normally does load fairly quickly.

Have tested all three in IE7, Chrome and FF 3.0 - dont have FF2 so would appreciate if you let me know if problems persist.

Cheers

You need to do more than the home pages when it comes to validating...

the shirley site problem is that the top menu items are not wide enuf to show the full text and some of it goes behind the image below it, firefox 2...

Hi Mark

Thanks for the feedback and yes, agree 100% re yr point on validation.  Let me rephrase - the templates validate.  The clients are responsible for the content so that may cause some validation issues.  Will go through each page and check - just a matter of time to do it.

One thing I noticed was that an ampersand in the title of a calendar item failed validation.  Maybe something to report to the dev team?

Still dont understand what is happening with FF2 and the top menu.  Without FF2 I cannot replicate it. I have made some minor adjustments to the CSS.  If the problem is still there, is it possible to send a screenshot?

There you go, looks right now...

I have 8 browsers on my computer to test my templates ...

On http://www.clipmagic.com.au/ the menu goes behind the image below it...

Thank you, thank you, thank you. 

The CSS element I changed was to comment out "overflow:hidden" on the LI tag. I had this in for a site with fixed height/width on the menu elements.

Am downloading FF2.

Hi Mark
re the problem with the clipmagic menu is a diff issue and again I cannot replicate. Can we talk about this offline?  Need to fix it but not really relevant to this topic.
