Joshua
AFAIK it works okay down to 800x600. At 640x480 I see what you mean, but
given the target audience I'm okay with that. Even at 640x480 the content is
still all there. But yes, you are right - the layout goes ga-ga. Not sure
what I can do to fix that, other than narrow the right-hand graphic.

Thanks very much. Feel free to rip the code apart and grab the CSS file to
duplicate the 3 column <div> layout as well. (Goes without saying, but no
nabbing the graphics...)

Any chance of screenshots?
I've got a feeling you mean *really* small, and *really* big, in which case
I'm not too worried, but I'd like to see what you define as small and big,
as well as what you'd choose as the default size.

Yeah - the screenshot isn't yet optimised, but I think it's worth it as a
"convincing mechanism" to try and get people to upgrade their browsers.
I'm aiming for a 50k page size. (Let's hear it for Jakob!!!)

Thanks, and thanks for taking the time to look and comment.
