I got this system from Project 7 having spent ages learning lots of different techniques. Because someone else has written the css a lot of trial and error still goes into it to customize. > 2.

What are the scrolling issues like? Can you recommend anything to fix this? I thought that these margin properties were standard ways of centering a page. Maybe I could add padding to the body, but I have not seen that before - and then all descendents will get messed up unless I specifically tell them not to. > 2.

Yeh, they're not aligned properly in Safari either. I might look into this but I wasn't initially intending to have the containers on the left to be a fixed size. I think for visual sense that I should now - so my guess is probably something to with borders or class values. > > Question: > Is there an advantage of using javascript to load some CSS?

The reason is because the menu is from project 7. - If only I could write css like that! LOL. I am concerned though with people having java switched off, but having researched a little the percentages were quite high in favor of them being on. Also I am mucking around (a tiny bit) with 'scriptaculous' -it probably won't lead to anything but that uses java too. > > Personal: > Not fond of Flash, but to each his own, at least yours is not > wasting too much vertical space! ;-) However, after allowing it to > display, I'm wondering if your planning on some animation.

I am not a keen fan of flash either, believe it or not, but for my market, it seems to be quite generic to have some in there. I am so pleased that you recognised that it is not complete overkill! > > Hope you 'content' is as good as your CSS! ;-) LOL. I am sure you are referring to that of project 7 - but i'll take the compliment anyway! Yeh, check back in a week's time and I should have quite a lot more up there.
