  1. I haven't looked at your code closely, but... Absolutely positioning between IE and Mozilla (and Safari) are a couple pixels off. This is because, as I understand it, one browser sets the absolute by the HTML tag, the other by the BODY tag. While this shouldn't make a difference, it does. There are also differences if you start using borders, padding, margins, and so on - each browser handles the additional space that each element takes up a bit differently. You can try setting your HTML and BODY tags to have borders of 0. If that doesn't work, then you may want to change how you're doing your absolutely positioning. I prefer to use relative positions. Basically, it allows you to anchor an absolute position to another element or section of the page. First, you declare an area you want stuff to appear absolutely inside of, relative. Then do your regular positioning inside that, then close them all off. Something like the following: DIV style=position:relative; DIV style=position:absolute; left:10px; top:20px; width:200px; height:200px; /DIV DIV style=position:absolute; left:10px; top:210px; width:200px; height:200px; /DIV /DIV That would create two content boxes, 200px by 200px, 10 pixels apart, set 10 pixels from the left border of the initial box. I realize that's about as clear as mud. A great site to get some CSS tips is Eric Meyer's site: http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/ Another option is to use some sort of browser detection, then set up separate styles for each browser. Its ugly and a pain to maintain, but it does work. I find myself forced to do that more than I care to admit. -Kris
  2. My first visit to the site was today. Its not a bad design. Simplicity goes a long way with me. However, the navigation could be cleaned up a bit - that's not so much of a design issue as it is interface. The words "Web Hosting" appear all to often in the nav items, causing them to blend together when you're looking quickly for information. Also, maybe some different colors or background or something to separate each nav section, again to prevent them from blending all together. That said, I liked that fact that the site wasn't covered in stock art - there was some, but not enough to turn me off. I tend to get suspicious of sites that use a lot of stock photos .
  3. Sounds good. Its only a small number of videos for a limited audience - all legal, and all family friendly. Mostly just video clips taken while playing computer games. On our current host we're using something like 7gb of bandwidth a month - whats the cost if we were to exceed our monthly quota? Thanks again, Kris PS - I just got my account notification for the other site I maintain - thanks for the fast service!
  4. Hi there, I've already made the decision to move one of the sites I'm responsible for to TCH. I have a second one that I'd also like to transfer, but that one is a tad more complicated. Does TCH have any restrictions for the types of files that can be hosted on the web server? For example, some of the other hosts I've checked into don't allow movie files (mov, avi, etc) or audio files (mp3, wav), or if they do allow them its an extra fee. Thanks kindly, Kris
