Abigail commented: Actually, Tim, I think that the site you found is an excellent example of a visually appealing plus easy to navigate site. I think it's a great model to start with. I reply: I think so too, in IE. While it doesn't break in NN4.7x, it looks rather bad...bad enough that if I were to duplicate the effort with our site, it would be unacceptable to the powers-that-be. Abigail further commented: Can you clarify what some of your major problems are, or post a link to whatever page is giving you headaches? I reply thusly: I think my biggest problem is that our largest client uses NN4.7 as their base browser, so I must support it. Furthermore, my requirements are that the site appear the same in both IE and NN4.7. Since NN4.7 doesn't do CSS mouseovers well (that I've discovered, anyway), I end up downloading GIFs for the left menu - lots of them. I don't like doing it but it's the only way I've found to force consistent look between NN4.7 and IE. My log files are full of GIF requests. :-) I don't really have a headache yet...I just haven't started looking at my site's pages deeply enough to start working on this aspect of things. I have a feeling that it's going to be messy. I've put in alt tags for all the menu images (I wasn't aware that I could get away with alt=""; I may have to play with that some), but am not really sure where to go from there. www.foulston.com I imagine it'll take a bit of redesign.
