Hi all, I have put together our own web site, its only small so I
decided after reading up on CSS web design to do the site myself.
The site looks good in IE7 but when you use IE6 the green and red box
buttons on the right shift down to the bottom of the page instead of
being at the right. Also, in Safari the web site appears ro move down
by an inch which results in the horizontal tiled background being out
of place with the rest of the site.
This is probably due to your attempt at exact pixel sizing. That never
works. See:

If anyone has any pointers or suggestions I would appreciate it.

There are other problems as well:

In the Firefox Web Developers Toolbar/edit CSS, I see some weird
characters at the beginning of your CSS that affect my display (removing
body settings), but they don't seem to be in your CSS file. I don't see
this at any other sites.

"font-size: small" may work for your eyes, but not for mine. Use
percentages instead, and default to 100%. See this page and also note
the section on Verdana:

These are new pages, you say. New pages should use a Strict doctype as
you aren't Transitioning from anything. Also, best to eschew XHTML and
use HTML 4.01 Strict (for the oft-mentioned reasons).
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
Hope this gets you started.
