The thread title is wrong too cos Opera is free now.

Your screenshot says 'no' error or warning. That means it's OK, doesn't it.

Um, they have keyboards with different characters in other countries, you know? Your flash site is pretty cool although I think the style of your navigation for your gallery doesn't really go with the home office type theme. Your forum looks like it could do with some more graphics in the header area - looks kinda empty up there. Also, your forum isn't centred on the page in Firefox.

For the most part, it's only IE that won't do the things you want it to or displays stuff differently (incorrectly) from other browsers. You can use IE conditional comments in your HTML to serve up different styles for IE which means your site won't look broken for people who have javascript turned off.

Could be due to Google's sandbox.

Even websites that use frames are usually made with tables as well. Well, no, not really. Tables are old news and their use as a tool for laying out has been contrary to the purpose for which they were originally created - to present tabular data. You should do a bit of Googling on XHTML/CSS and see the possibilities that they provide - now that's awesome.

I'd think you'd want to address that problem first.

Search engines do. What you're describing - hiding keywords by making them the same colour as the background - is a technique that will get you blacklisted with search engines.

Not if they've got js turned off it won't. And if you know what you're doing with CSS, there are work-arounds to get IE to accept min-width & min-height.

Opera doesn't currently support opacity.

Yeah, Firefox uses a lot of memory but I'm prepared to live with that for the added functionality it provides.

If you're going to do a site in Flash, you're going to need a preloader. I spent 2 minutes staring at a white box on a black background and then it timed out.

Dreamweaver's an expensive purchase for someone who's just doing it as a hobby.

Be aware that background-attachment: fixed only works on the body tag in IE. Other browsers support it for all elements. A better way to do what you've done is with shorthand CSS: body { background: url(under.gif) no-repeat fixed 10% 20%;}You can also use other values for your horizontal & vertical dimensions like pixels and ems.

That only works in IE/WIN and Safari 1.3+.

That's exactly right. Why would you create a class for a tag that already exists, helps define the type of content and is preferred by search engines? Not if you specify the size for the h3. You can specify the size for any HTML element, you don't have to accept the default size that a browser sets. If you wanted to, you could have your h1, h2, h3 etc. all the same size simply by doing: h1, h2, h3 { font-size: 200%; }

I did one semester of Delphi programming at TAFE. It was my first introduction to any programming language and I did OK at it but not great. Since then I haven't looked at Delphi again but I do think it helped me with the basic programming concepts when I started doing classic ASP instead.

Embedding fonts.

That's as broad an over-generalisation as I've ever heard. I don't know a single person who doesn't drink alcohol; I also don't a know a single person with a 'serious problem' (or even a mild problem for that matter). What does that tell you about your theory?

Yeah: why would you want to do it a more complicated way when there are easier options?

Too lazy? Too smart more like it. You know why you hardly see any all-Flash sites around? It's not cos of the work involved, it's cos users just don't like them that much and search engines certainly don't.

Tell him to lose the frames. There's much better ways of achieving the same effects/results and search engines don't like them.

Really? Every time I've tried that I've got kicked out of the store for knocking stuff off the shelves with my feet. Much prefer shopping with my hands really. I personally wouldn't shop online with a mobile phone, but then I've never accessed the Internet with one either.

I dunno about anyone else, but I personally HATE it when I visit a site and it resizes my browser without asking me or without opening in a new pop-up window. I use Firefox with a lot of tabs open at the full width of my screen - I DON'T WANT someone screwing around with the orientation of my browser. It's like me coming over to your house and moving your furniture around.Why do you need to have the browser window at a certain size anyway?

Something you forgot to point out is that your favicon should be 16 pixels x 16 pixels. For anyone with Photoshop CS, there's a plugin that lets you save an .ico file from Photoshop.
