Internet Explorer Issues

Thanks to everyone who wrote in about the site not working on Internet Explorer. Unfortunately I need to boot into Windows to test against IE. And I don't like to do that too often.

Luckily a friend has looked at the problems with IE and given me some possible solutions. I'll try to get to them soon.

Like so many other web developers, I use Firefox. I'm no longer a Firefox zealot; unfortunately, Firefox 3.0 just has too many problems, especially with the extensions I use. Often times when I click "close other tabs" it will sit there for thirty seconds being unresponsive. Perhaps I use too many tabs?

So now instead of badgering everyone I know to try Firefox, I encourage them to try all the alternative browsers and pick the best one for themselves. I've yet to try Google's Chrome, but I think they have the right model making each tab a separate process. Please Google, let's get Chrome running on Linux!

Hi Sam,

Site looks great, hope you get those IE6 problems taken care of ASAP!

We're getting much closer! The site should now render properly under Internet Explorer 6. Next week I'll try and find time to fix the JavaScript issues.

A huge shout out to Malbec Media for all their help with the design.
