yes. http://4.46.112.35/storefronttest2/indexHTML.asp

that's the "experimental" page. just remove the file to get to index.asp

you are absolutely, 100% correct.

the layout itself is as it should be. and all the content is readable.
it's just that the font sizes and family's are all messed up and certain
parts are different colors and netscape doesn't seem to recognize img {
border: 0px; } like eveyrthing else does.

the only thing missing is the iframe of course, which is totally
important since it might not even stay. it just serves as website news
so far. e.g. "checkout section updated" or "we've added some new members
to our team" etc.

uh oh. i think i'll have to wait till monday.


thanks,
