Hey guys I just finished my new site:
http://sunbeamers.com
I have one minor problem that I know of. The tag line in the banner of
http://sunbeamers.com/default.php doesn't wrap properly in smaller resolutions and on resizing. If any one has a solution, please share...
Thanks

I'd chop half the height off the top of the header, but with that VERY minor nitpick, I gotta say, FANTASTIC site.
Lovely design, compliant code, easy navigation.. Love it.
Its even got an upbeat message!
I don't experience the problems you are reporting on the footer in Firefox-1.07.

Thanks for the compliment Roja.
I have thought about decreasing the size of the header graphics too.
The resize problem I'm having is with the "warming the souls of millions, one sunbeam at a time" tag line. On lower resolutions or window resizing the thing gets pushed into the content area. IE wraps it. But other browsers do not. I don't know how to fix this issue to make the tag line wrap.

Ah. Now I see it. It does happen on FF as well. Not sure how to change the structure to prevent that.

Hi. very very nice design.
I'd suggest trying to give it an absolute position. (relatively to the top left)
By the way, what're the sunbeamers?

It's a reference to a Christian childrens song entitled "Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam." Interestingly enough, I think Nirvana's MTV unplugged cd has their version of it but I admit I've never heard it before.
Google results for Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam
Otherwise it's a reference to the creators of the site the "sunbeam network".

Hey guys I was able to solve the the wrap issue in the header. I put the left image into a division tag. Changed the strapline class into a division and gave it a left margin. That coupled with setting a min-width in the body tag fixed the wrap issue.

Can you tell me more about your platform:
Operating System, Browser and version number, Screen Resolution
I'm not seeing it on any of my systems or browsers.
