I am unable to work on your stuff because when I download it every time I open it in IE/8 or IE/7 it crashes. I begin to sound like a broken record -- even to myself. Approach the page and its problems as a -- division of labor -- *that does not rely on any scripting or any programming whatsoever.* All positioning-schemes bring with them certain inherent characteristics: work within the position-fixed column restraints, and things will likely go better for you For example: 1/ Delete all the js throughout. 2/ The "reset styles" mess hinders rather than helps your cause. 3/ Create a two column layout. Set the font at default. 4/ Make the left column position fixed [see examples previously sent, but Philippe's suggestion is probably the way to go]. Honor font-size default for the content in both columns. 5/ Put h1, h2, and *a simple navigation-list* in the left column. One of the list-items to be a clickable link to a separate "contact, who we are, whatever we are" page. Remember, not to forget, the total height of h1, h2, and the list is best set less than 50% of the height of the /shortest window/ you intend to hit. This is particularly important for IE. 6/ Optimize the images <http://www.smushit.com/ysmush.it/> 7/ Put the written text and optimized images in the right-column. 8/ Test the site in compliant browsers and IE/7 from now until forever... If any or all above does not sit well with your employer or their client then a two-column layout that does not employ position fixed may be best.
