Ran your site thru the 4,73, 6.0, 4.0 and the 4.5 NN browsers and didn't =
get any flaky responses.
I would like to make a recommendation thou! :-)
Your reface site is using gifs for all the door images.
Jpeg's should be the format used for complex images of this nature.
Using gifs creates larger files and a loss in colors available.
If you convert the originals to jpeg and can easily compress them to 25% =
of there original
size.
I ran a quick test with my graphics app and got some really good results =
compressing the gifs. As I am sure you know taking a gif and compressing =
it
to the jpeg format gives extremely poor results.
One thing I would take note of thou, And that fonts seem to do better =
with the gif format
and not the jpeg format.=20
I came across a script the other day that is pretty incredible in it's =
ability
to do most anything you can image. A tool tip.
This script that was pointed out to me a few days ago.
It would allow you to maximise the information delivered while improving =
the
quality of the experience. An opinion of course!
If your interested in the full dialog try this link, It is pretty =
informative:

The script in question, If you don't already use something similar!

I would personally load the script from the index page as it is quite =
abit smaller.
Of course if they by passed the index page then I would still have the=20
external link in the doors page.
Hopefully some helpful insight..
