All save that moz-border-radius property..
Nope. It still has a dozen warnings that are easy to fix.

Besides, if you are using CSS3, then use Border-Radius instead, and you'll have no errors!

????

How would a proxy server effect the output of a page?

I bet 100 to 1 I was playing with the css page when you viewed it.

I plan on making selectable styles, just keep in mind this doesn't need to look all peaceful and zen-like for the moment. Look at my audience. :P

If you saw how different your pages looked in FF and Opera, you would know there was something going on. My Opera Browser is having a hard time at work for some reason.

Anyhow, keep plugging along. It's coming, it just needs a little more work.

I've gotten the IE browser to show correctly using the conditional comments.

As soon as my system get's through updating, I'll install Operah and have a look.

Ahh... I see what your seeing now, it's doing the same crap that IE is doing with margins.
