[I'm finally doing it!]

At least you will now be ahead of the times and just waiting for IE to catch up. I did the same as Andrea, I let the corners be square in IE. I did try CSSPie but it only worked on the top corners not on the bottom ones, go figure, so I gave up.

 

P.S. Did you forget my little request???

[Quick cross-browser compatibility check]

No issues in 3.5.16 on Mac

[Need help with header in Safari and IE 7]

Susie, your class widget-area is 550px wide and the customnav is 561px, change the widget-area to 561 and the menu will move over.

[Need help with header in Safari and IE 7]

Are you talking about Safari for PC, cos it looks OK on Mac

[Image Button Not Displaying]

Do you see the difference between these 2 snippets, that is why your image is not showing, case-sensitive...

Have you tried Googling for jquery.colorbox ? That is what the site is using.

[Browser differences]

Ditto that for HTML5 and CSS3, they would be fantastic if all the browsers behaved the same way. Unfortunately that is one of the problems of web design, the fact that they don't all work the same way. LSW gives good advice, use Firefox primarily and if your site is coded correctly and validates, you should only have a few minor tweaks to make in the other browsers if at all.

[Is this working in your IE6?]

It works in both IETester in IE6 and also on my old PC with an original IE6, but that one took like forever to load and play.

[Wine and Macbooks don't mix!]

Yeah, and you could also not spill food and drink on your laptop ....

[Wine and Macbooks don't mix!]

I wouldn't recommend washing machines either

[Which skills are required to make a website like this?]

@JatinS

Please, please if you do make a site like that, don't have the music blaring as soon as it comes up, make it an option for the user to turn on if he wishes to hear it.

 

You know why? Some people surf the internet at work when they're not supposed to, and if your site loads with loud music it will get shut down illico presto and they won't go back there.

[Which skills are required to make a website like this?]

I would not bother with books anymore, the web evolves so quickly that the best place to learn is on the internet.

 

P.S. Start out with html and css before attempting anything fancier.

[WYSIWYG editors]

I would suggest to your friend that she finds a horse related template in Wordpress, then she won't have to deal with any code at all. She can add images, pages, text into it through the dashboard. If she knows a little code, she can probably tweak the theme and put her own images in.

[webpage all over the place in IE 7]

There is an element which is not loading, probably the Flash, so I could not test the code in IE7. From looking at it in Firebug, I can see that it is a problem with the way you are positioning your divs. You have way too many floats and are using positioning which you do not need.

 

For example for the header and nav, change to this:

#logo {width: 210px; height: 88px;}
and remove top from #navbar and add margin-top: 38px;

if you write the code for the leftpane-left-bottom

#leftpane-left-bottom {
clear:both;
margin-left:10px;
margin-right:0;

 

You will still need to tweak the top margins and I have not corrected the whole page. By the way these corrections work in Firefox too.

[Embeded flash not working]

If you created the Flash video yourself just Publish it in Flash. Go to the Publish settings first and under Formats check Flash and HTML then click Publish and Flash will create the .swf and .html page. Then just copy the embed code from the html page and put it into your page.

 

P.S. Run a spell check through your site, you have quite a few spelling mistakes.

[Anyone know of a different Fancy Zoom?]

Hey Eric,

If you don't use it, you lose it, you should know that as it does not only apply to brain power

Merry Christmas to you and your growing family

[This is frustrating!]

Improper Doctype or something above the doctype which is putting IE into Quirks mode. In standards mode it works as it is supposed to in IE

[Do you know of a better way?]

It actually looks a lot better that way

[Do you know of a better way?]

That is what I suggested earlier on, but perhaps Susie missed my post.

[Do you know of a better way?]

Just a suggestion, put the sold sign as a hanging sign (not on a post) at the top so it overflows into the header where his name is and move his name to the center.

[nightmare client wants refund]

Your client sounds like a psycho, stay as far away from her as you can. Block her emails and phone calls, she'll just make you miserable.

[A new design]

I would probably leave the social media icons the colour that the relevant sites actually use and I would tone down your bright yellow a tad. You may not be a designer, but I'm no programmer either each to his own!
