[Burns, Martin] When it was 100%, the film strip didn't go all the way
to the RHedge - all margins are set as you can see.

[Burns, Martin] They're brighter on a Mac. I actually toned down the
colours a touch from the album cover I was working from.

[Burns, Martin] There shouldn't be too much text on a given page;
except for the planned guestbook.
The site will have to run in frames unfortunately - they've chosen an
NT host for the site, but all my useful apps are CGIs (& mostly SSI),
which will work reliably, and be quickly installable on a *nix host.
I don't have time to rewrite them all (the site goes live on Sunday - I
was only briefed last Saturday, and got the album cover on Monday)
using ASP - so I'll host the main body of the pages on my domain,
with just the filmstrip as top & bottom frames.
The client loves it, so we're sorted. Anyone view it in a non4+
browser? It's CSS-heavy, and uses table background images,
so it may not be very good.
My own testing shows it's stable in IE4 on Mac(4.5) & NT PC
(4.01), and Mac Netscape 4.0 & 4.5.
Cheers
Martin
