Personal insults are not necessary. Gunlaug is correct. At 800x600 you have
to scroll vertically and horizontally to even see the whole of your main
content div. This is an EXACT 800x600 px screenshot without taking in to
account other native elements that will be below / to the site of the
browser window: http://gr0w.com/test/img/800x600.jpg (115.84 KB). Even if,
as you state, the site is designed to fit within 800x600 screen resolution,
it won't.
Not only that but every empty href you have will be a dead link with
javascript turned off. That's potentially about 10% of your audience. There
are simple ways to have them degrade gracefully.
Some people are taking the time to make suggestions. Granted you asked about
a specific issue however, if you don't like what they have to say feel free
to ignore it rather than acting like a child and spitting your dummy out at
the list. Nothing that anyone has said so far would stop your client getting
more business. In fact, it would do the opposite by making the site better.
Perhaps part of all of our jobs is doing what we're asked by clients, but
perhaps part of it is advising our clients when what they want is a
hindrance to their business. In any event, by reacting so ungraciously to
input, I doubt it will encourage further assistance with your problem.
