We're working on a new site and here is a "test" home page:
http://solmar.ca/temp1/index.htm

The page layout looks "good" (to us ;-) in:
+ IE 6.0, Mozilla 1.3, Opera 6.05 and even IE 5.0

The question is how does it look and how does the layout behave (during
window resizing, no footer content overlap, etc....) in other browsers like:
+ Netscape 6 & 7
+ Opera 5 & 7
+ Mozilla 1.1-1.4,
+ IE 5.X Mac and Safari
+ Konquedor
+ and any other reasonably conforming CSS browser (not NN 4.X or IE 4.X)

For reference here is a screen shot in Mozilla 1.3 (viewed as either PNG
or JPEG (larger file size)):
http://solmar.ca/temp1/img/new_site.png  (WARNING: ~71Kb)
http://solmar.ca/temp1/img/new_site.jpg  (WARNING: ~147Kb)

The only problem that seems to be visible on all browsers (so far) is
that there is a horizontal scroll bar always visible - no matter how
wide the window gets - something in the layout seems to be extending
beyond 100% but where?  Or something else.

Any ideas and comments are welcome ;-)

BTW the layout template is from:
http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=ThreeColumnLayouts
specifically:  [Douglas Livingstone's] flexible: %

Thanks,

Can anyone using "any" of these browsers tell us if the site looks okay?

We found the problem here - it was a footer div that was sized to 100%
that had margin on the left set on it that caused the horizontal nav bar.

For Opera 7, see screenshot at

Unfortunately a problem with images overlaying text.
