No problem, I enjoy blunt answers to questions. I've had enough  
sweets in my life, I dont need anymore sugar coating.
Just caught me off guard. And yes unfortuantely, that was my code.  
But that is why I'm here ;)

You sure about this number, I mean there is now safari on all iPhones  
as well and they have a BIIIG market.
No matter.

IE does not love us MAC people anymore, boo hoo  :P
Nothing ever worked in it when it was on MAC anyways, so goo ridden.
Hell, its one of the only browsers I know that HAS to have special  
code written (in almost any dynamic site)
that will make it work on IE. Too much work to do for a silverspoon  
application.
I would rather force people to download Firefox or Safari. (On my own  
projects of course)

The menus were the worst thing when I looked in Firefox, but the main  
panels and the nav to the left worked.
It was the top that was a little screwy. Might have been a CSS thing.

Well you can do that by pressing the apple button + delete.
