    My site shows up perfect in chrome and firfox but its not fully showing up in IE. Any suggestions on how to fix this? The site in the signature if you want to check. I dont think its a catch issue at all.

    Well, being your flash is refusing to load here in opera, something else is going on :(

    The first step would be to clean up your 23 validation errors. It's the first thing to check when you have cross-browser rendering errors.

    Uhg, tables for layout, this doesn't bode well... Yeah, I wouldn't even TRY to fix that existing code, I'd have to throw away ALL of the markup to even make sense of what's going on in that train-wreck of code -- spacer.gif's, tables for layout, presentational markup, invalidly scripted flash plugins, non-breaking spaces doing the job of padding - when was this written, 1997-1998ish? Might be time for you to throw it away and hire a coder to redo the site from scratch using MODERN techniques like semantic markup and separation of presentation from content.

    Seriously, 12k of markup for 2.3k of content and two non-presentational images/objects is a pretty good indicator something is amiss (that's about 3 times the code that should be needed)

    How much would it cost to throw this template and script out and redo everything custom but keep my affiliates hooked to the site? budget is 1,000

    Well, I'm retired and not taking on clients... but, well - this isn't that big a job given the site size.

    PM inbound.

    Good lord, DS, you could whip off a site that small in your sleep.

    That was true a year ago, Parkinson's has slowed me up just a little.
