that will work, and it's not wrong, but i prefer to keep the DTD in my
page... as such, the suggestion i made was based on that
premise... dunno if it's a good approach until you try it...

yes... added benefits include the ability to include your line-height
and margin/padding styles in the CSS called via @import without
worrying about the NN4.x rendering bugs related to these
attributes... i also use it to make them neat CSS rollover thingies
(which i pilfered from another evolter's tutorial, althogh i don't recall
who right now)

that chunk of JS is to break the page out of frames... i got tired of
sites like about.com and a bunch of local places linking to articles
on the algonquin site as framed pages so they could get their ad
revenue, so now i just use the JS to jump out of the frames...

glad to hear that, thanks... makes me feel a little better about
what was a rushed design with a lot of usability assumptions
without as much testing as i would have liked...
didja like the xmas lights? you should have seen them in all their
glory as a Flash movie at our holiday party...
