* I can't have the horizontal orange menu to display at 100% in IE. Can
anybody help me to fix the css?...
OR
* Any comments on other areas?

Thanks in advance!

If you set any one color (background, text, link, etc.), you must set
both background and foreground colors.

I often forget to set the backgrond color. Is it acceptable to add to the
stylesheet:
* {background-color: transparent} ?

Better is:
body {background-color:#fff; color:#000;}
Be sure to include a default color when using background images and/or
the background shorthand, too:
body {background: #fff url(img.png); color:#000;}
If you specifically set foreground and background colors on the body
element, all its descendents should inherit from it[1], except for
link foreground color(s). ...

What I meant to say was whether the *{background: transparent} would solve
any problems with *other* elements than body. Especially the ones where a
foreground color is set.
But I understand that specifying a background color for body and links is
enough.

Thanks

Kchayka,

Thanks a lot; I will work those issues out.
Best regards.

The colors used in the side navigation bar make it really hard to read,
especially over that background image, and especially in IE due to 100%
transparency. That lime green is hard to read on just about any
background color, IMO.

Try leaving the body margins 0, add a container for the content and put

elements as needed.

You were right; the issue was resolved setting body margins to 0, but I also
had to take the menu out of the new #container div for it to display
properly, since letting it in would cause it to behave the same odd way...

Thanks again.
