Welcome to usenet.
a) it looks good and I believe in sites that look good b) I make
sites for clients who sometimes have specific needs/desires
[note to those just tuning in: this comment appears to be in reply to my
complaining that the site uses microfonts]
Quote from Alan Flavell:

What the client wants, and what the WWW will do, are not necessarily
the same thing. It's our job as developers to resolve such
inconsistences ;-}

in the case of popups without toobars the photographer did not
like the toolbar as it was distracting. I agreed.
Then turn off the toolbars in your browser. Leave them alone in others'
browsers.
This is a site after all about photographs..]
What does the subject of the site have to do with usability? Or
respecting the visitor?
Site (XHTML-Strict; validates)
HTML is more robust; in almost every case, it's a better choice.
?
Sorry, I cannot understand what the question mark by itself is meant to
convey. Was my wording unclear? Or do you want more information about
the problems of XHTML?
I guess the question is mostly for folks with a Mac as it's hard to
describe what's happening since I don't understand it..
Perhaps you could provide a screen shot?
On index.htm, nothing but the main photo, the lower menu and the
copyright info is being displayed. The top menu, the tan-colored
bars, and the Best of Boston logo are gone -- likely behind the
photo, although I don't know.
Also, on info.htm, the top menu is mostly behind the content div. Only 1
link works ("contact," I think it says). Using Mozilla 1.6/Win2k.
Getting back to the home page:
It's very complicated markup and css for a very simple layout. I suggest
simplifying it. Since the photo has a fixed width by nature, create a
single div, centered, with width 741 pixels. Inside that, you need <h1>
(you have no h1 on that page) with corrinne shippert photo, the image,
and a menu div (or ul), a copyright div, and the best of boston image,
which I'd put as a foreground instead of background image.
Text-align center for h1, grey on tan. Menu and copyright text-align
right. The only element on which I'd use position: absolute or relative
is the Best of Boston image. I'd leave everything else static, with
perhaps one exception: it might make sense to position: relative the
main div in order to position the Best of Boston image absolute.
you have an import statement @import url(corinne.css);
Actually I use: @import "corinne.css";
Mozilla Developer Toolbar lied to me. It reported a different syntax,
but looking at source, I see that you use the same syntax as I do.
