Schoolboy needs help - view my new site it IE8

Hi Chaps...

The computer I use with MSIE v8 has crashed, and I need someone to see if it is rendering OK.

The CSS is a dog's breakfast right now, and while the site renders OK in FF, I have no idea what it will look like in windoze exp v 8.

If you have a minute or two, navigate about a bit and report problems.

There are some significant code changes as well, so if you come across a FUNCTION that does not work, please let me know...

Tx..

HERE is the site (in dev mode right now)

I looked with Galeon 2.0.7 and Google Chrome (on Ubuntu) and looks great. Very nicely done :)

And your nice zooms work right in both.

I have ie6 here somewhere if yer interested in that. I can check in the morning.

Looks Good.
Not a big fan of changing font size on hover but I guess your still working on CSS.

You'll need to increase the height of #logoWrapper to un-hide your logo in IE6 and 7.

Thanks Steve. I know I can always rely on you to dig into the murky depths to find what's wrong!

Just a heads up if you run into any problems, this is a great forum to help web devs working in IE:

Thanks Kyler. That certainly looks useful.

My crashed machine is back in operation (its the one I keep OLD versions of everything - OLD OS, OLD browsers, OLD editors...)

As it is deliberately stopped from updating software, it is very frail!
