Great, thanks for testing

I know, I know. My client _expressely_ wanted frames (just as they wanted
something "moving" on the homepage...) so I did just that but I intend to
change the navigation area to a SSI or something similar.

As per css positioning, you are right and I love it. Fairly often, however,
I see websites with layers obviously not intended to be where they are etc..
so I am slightly wairy of using it on clients' sites until I am sure I know
what I am doing. I have used it on the homepage, however, and I will
certainly try to do as you suggest.

Thank you so much for your help! Much appreciated.

1. the css buttons look all over the place - use "width : Npx" in your css
to define the width of the buttonsa and make thjem the same size.
2. take away the powerstats thing or else place it on a hidden layer

You should cite Web site addresses as URLs, as in
<URL:http://www.tecnolingueitalia.com>.

I'd strongly consider losing the frames. You definitely need to get rid
of the absolute font sizes, they *will* cause problems for someone out
there. Try getting rid of the body font size as well as the one in the
"p, span, div, td" selector further down, then scale the remaining ones
to be (old pt size/10)em, for example, 15pt becomes 1.5em.

I seem to be able to use everything just fine in Konqueror 3.1.2 with
scripting off, though I can't understand a word of the text because I
know next to zero Italian.

Ok, I can do that.

I can't do that, unless I upgrade to the paid version. Can you explain why
it needs be done?

Thanks

Just for aesthetics, I think.

<div style="display:none;">

Place powerstats code here, it should not display.

Of course PowerStats will not like you (if they find out), but hey,
isn't everyone immoral these days???

Please don't use pixels. It needlessly breaks when people use different
font sizes.

Apart from probably breaking the T&Cs, this typically stops the browser from
downloading the images, so it will probably break your stats (not that they
aren't broken by design already).

Frames are to go pretty soon, the rest is done as you suggested. Thanks for
the explanation.

Great, thanks again Shawn.
Can only repay back with some Italian lessons. Lesson number one:
"Grazie dell'aiuto, berro' una birra in tuo onore!" >> "Thanks for your
help, I will drink a beer to your health!"

For a domain/directory URL, include the trailing slash:
<URL:http://www.tecnolingueitalia.com/>

FWIW: The "<URL:..." makes no difference here as I always cut'n'paste
any URL's into a suitably secure browser, rather than clicking and
hoping that IE hasn't taken over as the default browser without asking
again.

And if it's a site that's not our own, how are we to know whether it's
a directory URL or not?
