Client didn't like it.

First you say the client wants it to work in as many browsers as possible (no mean feat), then you get one that works and they say they don't like it and now you are back to trying ones that don't work at all in v.4 browsers?

Frankly, your client sounds like a real patoot. I've given you a lot of feedback on v4 browsers and Mac compatibility, but sorry, but I'm giving up on this (seemingly lost) cause.

"... and get to know you a little better ..."

Please forgive me busy. I see that you are a proud male and that she, she, she thing cut right down to the heart of your manhood. That is what happens when you (I) ASSUME. Oh and you might not want to wear anymore dresses while intoxicated.

Don't take it personally. I am going to your profile now and get to know you a little better.

Busy — Wed, 12 Sep 2001 05:32:13 +0000

She, she?

OMG that one time I was so drunk and ended up in a dress is coming back to haunt me lol

for the record, Busy is a he, a him, a male, a Mr, a guy ....

sorry I didnt realise the html code didnt work (usually does), I'll keep in mind to check it before I post it next time.

hehehehe....Thanks Taff. I was really beginning to feel stupid becuase of the way she so "matter of factly" put her answer and was secretly pretending not to see it until someone else spoke up.

LOL@busy

Looks like Busy was a victim of message board html. Add a "start" to your list tag like so:

[ol start="4"]

Busy — Mon, 10 Sep 2001 21:57:02 +0000

you can start your list at any number

, which starts at 6 ...

hope this helps

Would someone take a look at two tables that I have on this page and see if there is a better way to lay these out? They list operational procedures and both have numbered items in them. I was unable to do ordered lists because they are in two different cells. So I just numbered them manually and they look like crap.

ettfire.com won't load at all in Netscape. For some reason, it keeps defaulting to ettfire.css and returning a 404.

It was documented in the instructions that it would be slow in NS. I will turn off the scroll (or roll out effect) and see if that speeds it up in NS.
The 404 problem should be fixed. I was experimenting with using a style sheet on this site and forgot to remove some of the code.

Quote: DM, I thought you had one that "degraded gracefully" and at least the links showed up and worked in NS? Now your ett page doesn't even display any menu in NS at all.

In IE4.0 your ett menu works but it's at the very top left of the page and it overlaps the logo.

The menu that "degraded gracefully" was the iNavigate menu from here: http://www.cirkadia.com/iNavigateNew.html
Client didn't like it.
I have some positioning problems going on here with the old one. Relative or absolute....which way do I go, which way do I go. ARG! Will work on this today.

Old menu here--> http://www.ettfire.com
