Errm. Have a look exactly where?

Cheers

What happens if I don't have scripting enabled?
<laughs anyway />

Ah, a fallback. Nice ;o)

Just getting your interest piqued...

Oops - so stunned by http://www.vegasventures.us/ that I forgot to give the
URL :)

<!-- beginning to wish I hadn't bothered :( -->

"<%@ Language=VBScript %>" is showing at the top.
Can't be what you intend -- it's a scripting language
used to control winbox networks and the like.

Font is set oversize and I can't get my screen big
enough to read the page without scrolling horizontally
even after reducing font size. When you can grab the
bottom right corner of the window and make it really narrow
without a horizontal scroll bar appearing, you'll be ready
for further looks.

Move all the 1995 deprecated markup to a seperate CSS file.
Are you using some old WYSIWIG generator? Use a text editor
instead.

Thanks.

I'll use an ironic typeface next time I post.

Wow. Like watching a train wreck as I scroll down the page. Everything is
in slow motion and it keeps getting worse, but I have the strangest urge to
keep looking...

*shudder*

This easily wins the award for the worst looking web site of all time.
It even bests http://www.spritewater.com, which if you look at it, is
a recent redesign from a nice looking site! They did it in house to
save money.

Mark Parnell pounced upon this pigeonhole and pronounced:
What? It's quite a nice jumble of garbage text :eek:)

Works for me in IE6. <lol>

I think I agree with Clive.

That's because they are sending the wrong mime-type, and IE (wrongly)
guesses what it should be. I have looked at it in IE, too, and I agree.

Yes, I knew that but in my state of laughter, forgot to mention it.

I kept waiting for the clock that had been cut and pasted from email
(Be sure and move your mouse around! And don't ask for modifications!)
and it never loaded, which is okay because I'm sure *I* also received
a copy via email several years ago. However, increasing the font size
(why I tried that I don't know...) crashed my browser.

I'm just thankful that any (serious) site I've designed has never been
mentioned in one of these threads...

Reminds me of the moon landings, lots of people actually believed that
it was a complete fabrication.
