Site Almost Ready - Help Needed!

Hey all!

I'm ready to put up a site for a client... just waiting for a domain xfer to take place.

In the mean time, I'm having trouble with the contact form... It displays fine in IE, Mozilla and NS 7... I have trouble in NS 4.6... For some reason it stretches the length of the page. Looks really bad.

Would anyone be able to provide some help, or suggestions on how to correct the problem?

Also, while you're at it... What do you think!

Thanks!

PS: Ignore the page titles... as there are none!

Have you specified the proper COLSPAN attribute for that table that contains the form? It seems as though the some sort of height attribute is stretching it to the bottom of the table.

hey,

I think the site looks good! I am a huge fan of the "nice, clean and crisp" look. I like blues...... funny that, as I am a Man Utd fan (red!)

I have got IE6.0 and it worked perrrfectly (good ole' Microsoft) -- oh, there I go again, I've already been shot once for liking them!!

<note to self> Stop "bigging-up" Microsoft </note to self>


all in all, very nice site!!

Mitch,

That's just the thing... I can't seem to find anything in the code that would indicate a problem with it stretching...

It's a pain in the a*s, is what it is!

Any other ideas?

Fakker,

Thanks! I've been getting into the minimalist look lately... I've noticed that a lot of great sites have taken that approach. I don't blame them either, as there have been far too many "flashy" looking sites that look too busy for me.

Hehehe... as for IE, that's one thing I give praise to MS for <dodge bullet />


Thanks again!

Btw, what resolution are you viewing the site at? Also, did it load quickly for you?

Hehehe... I hate you! Is that your personal connection at home, or is that the business connection?

Thanks... Did you have any problems viewing it at all? Any abnormalities?

Yeah... No T1 for moi either! I'm on a cable conncetion... 512k/sec, I think... but it's never as fast as they say it is!

Hehehe... I'm glad it works on the 90 degree! hehehe! Gotta love those TFTs... Is it a laptop, or you desktop TFT? I've been looking to get a desktop TFT, but I think I'll wait until the prices drop... They've gone from ~$1000 to ~$450.. I'm just waiting for them to hit the $300 range.

Hehehe... I think I may have seen you!

Thanks for the link... I'll check them out... I haven't heard of them before... they don't have a Canadian site, but I'll be sure to check out their American one.


Hahaha... I think all websites should be designed like so! Talk about usability issues!
