Thanks, Hugh -- appreciate the kind words. I think the graphic headers were chosen because we wanted that lighter face font there, and couldn't get anything that light using the anticipated installed fonts. They're rendered using image replacement (FIR), so there are still H3 headers without t

Scott, sorry for the late reply. Been off at the NSW surf lifesaving championships. But is an image of this text in a pretty font or whatever even content? Isn't it just presentation and therefore the perfect thing for the stylesheet to represent? It's not a bad question. What is content? I w

G'day Kim In my IE6.0.2800 it's right at the bottom. (I'll email you a screen shot off list if you want) but the footer's right at the bottom. It has a horiz scroll bar and a vertical scroll bar, but the footer's right on the bottom. Cheers Mike Kear -Original Message- From: Christi

Hi. To get rid of the scrollbar in Firefox and Opera you can remove the padding on the footer or mess around with it more so the scrollbar goes away. And the fact that it's displaying kind of in the middle of the content has to do with the absolute positioning of it from the bottom. I had a pr

Hi Mike, The problem is in IE6 the footer isn't at the bottom. It's floating some 30 px above the bottom of the browser window. Besides that it's spawning a vertical scrollbar in IE6 and Firefoxand Opera. Furthermore the footer stays on resize and that goes for all the browsers I've tested in. K

Hi Martin, the page you posted with the sample datagrid is auto-generated. It also looks like your developers had spent at least 30 seconds writing the page. (Click on datagrid component, drop on page, specify table, save page. Thats it, no kidding.) It is not hard to replace the auto-generated d

I go with Verdana 9 times out of 10 unless the design calls for something more condensed then I'll go with Arial. In order of personal preference I usually go with font: Verdana, "Trebuchet MS", Helvetica, sans-serif. If the client wants serif then Georgia is the most readable. I know a bit about
