Second try - Now how does it look?

I have tightened up the code and the graphics quite a bit, and I’ve
discovered that IE support in my new layout and design is temperamental
at best.

While Firefox and Opera seem to display the site just fine, one-third of
machines that I use to view it with IE have IE crapping out on the
design. The other two-thirds of machines where I use IE to view the site
with, it works perfectly.

If anyone has the site crap out on them with IE, could they please
provide me with full machine stats (HW, O/S, Software, etc.) so I can
determine if it is a version, software or o/s issue.

Btw, the site is http://rene.kabis.org/

Am running Windows98 SE with a screen resolution of 600x800 pixels to
view your site.

Looking at it with Internet Explorer (version 6), the banner headline
div (Little Green Delusions: etc etc) is not displayed in the browser.

WXP SP2
IE: 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp2_sp2_gdr.050301-1519
Netscape: 8.04 (Mozilla/5.0)
Screen: 1600*1200 at 32bit, adapter Riva TNT2
Mobo MS7177 (Via chipset), PIII, 512Mb memory

A bit weird, all text right aligned but readable so there's a big "gap" at
the left, top banner 'seems' to continue beyond right side of page (although
it is fully readable, so might be on purpose)
Sunflower visible :
When resizing the window in Netscape, it "shifts" (greyed) beyond text,
neatly aligned with colored part
When resizing the window in IE, it "shifts" (greyed) beyond text, neatly
aligned with colored part

Some weird characters as unicode text:
This is a Unicode (UTF-8) test: æ.""this'õö÷ø
"This is a quote"

"This is another quote, æon þýüû"

Looks neat though...

The image at the top, title-trans.png, is still too large: 222 KB.

Convert it to a JPEG and the size shrinks to 24 KB. And you can cut the
size in half of the other background image, back.jpg, by reducing the
"quality" of the JPEG.
In Mozilla v1.7.12 the Navigation and Random Bitz move of the screen to
the left when the viewport is made small.

Aside of the fact that your images are way too big, a little

optimization and compression can go a long way) you have a fundamental
error in your layout. Absolute widths that are right justified means
that on a average web browser with screen resolution of 800x600 must
have their browser maximize or your site navigation disappears off
screen. Not good at all.

Take care,

Hey there.

I've accessed your site with IE 6, FireFox 1.5 and Netscape8 with a
screen resolution of 1280x1024 pixels...

The 1/4 sunflower background image is present in all three. There is NO
sepia toned background image only a background color of cornflower blue.
The rollovers assocaite with items 1-5 are only present, partially in IE6.

Overall, it is aesthetically pleasing if somewhat understated. The text
remains on the right-hand side of the screen.

Try running some of the roll-over images through Fireworks or ImageReady
since they allow you to monkey-around with transparency levels.
