Could you good folks look at my page and let me know what you think? I've
re-built the !@#$%^& thing 3 times now. Internet explorer is just
horrible
are rendering css and well, my style was a bit lacking.

I'm interested in if the navigation works well for people and more
importantly if the navigation is logical and easy to follow. Any and all
suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

Try changing font size or resolution. It works ONLY in the font size
and resolution it was made with. Any variation and it goes haywire. If
he's successful I expect he'll have to pay for a few hours help,
because as of now, there is so much wrong it would be hard to say
where to start correcting it.

Tom... WTH are you talking about? There are _no_ font-size declarations
anywhere in the site. The fonts are 100% their size and render as such.
The widest of pages on the the site are no bigger than 800px. The site
holds it's shape at 150% in opera on my 2 machines. I tested the page on 2
local machines, 1 box is a linux machine running a 1024 X 768 and #2 is a
winders laptop that is a 640 X 480. To top it all off I used :

http://www.anybrowser.com/ScreenSizeTest.html

I tested it on every size screen they offer. All hold their shape. You
state that theres sooo much wrong with the site but...
1 It fully validates as html 4.01 strict.
2 The css is fully compliant.
3 The site holds it's shape at 150% on 2 different screen sizes.

So you seem to be able to talk the talk, so post a few links to YouR sites
and lets see if you can walk the walk. Btw, still think those nntp's I
posted are bunk..? Or did you figure out how to configure your newsreader?

That's the reason you need help. You are using default fonts and sizes
and they don't fit all. Did you even look at it by clicking on View at
the top and then change the size of the font. In case you don't know,
a large % of veiwers do just that. Now as for it validating, sure if
all the html is correct it will validate, but that sure as heck don't
make it work when viewed by a different setting than what it was
designed with. None of my pages validate and I don't care, because,
I'm more interested in everyone that goes to the sites see what they
came for. I WILL NOT post sites here because they are not related to
this group, & this is my last comment on this thread because it is no
longer related - if it ever was!

O.k. Tom, I'm going to do this one more time... just for you. Sit up and
pay attention.

The page renders fine at 150% of default. The default size of the text is
controlled by _YouR_ computer, not my code. If the text is too small in
your browser, then you should expand the text size to 125% -150%. The page
will/does hold it's shape. If my text is too small, then so is google,
yahoo, msn...ect, must be too small for you also. Look into getting
glasses.

Many people enlarge text on web pages because the page builder set a font
size. 80% on my box isn't the same at your box. Hence the reason for
leaving the text size alone and not forcing the end user into using a
certain size.

If none of your pages validate, then people _arn't_ seeing what they came
for. Only people using browser X see it correctly. People using browsers y
and z are just screwed. You won't post your "sites" because you either:
A: You don't have one and your talking out your butt or
B: Your sites are crap and don't render correctly.

Really, feel free email me the links. I would love to learn how to do it
right. Love to see what perfection looks like.

As far as this not being a on-topic posting, again you show how little you
know about the usenet. This post is about a _gardening_ site. This is a
gardening group. I'm an (somewhat) active user and this post is by no
means off topic or spam. Feel free to lart me to teranews if you like, but
they'll round file your email. Btw, top posting is considered incorrect
posting etiquette.
