It's very good that we're seeing progress on this front, but this holding page is not valid HTML. I get a vertical scrollbar, even though the content of the page should easily fit - the reason is because the CSS is nowhere near as simple as it could be.

We're all doomed.

My point is that when we do something, we should try to get it right...

It's because they have set an absolute height for the main div, which is higher than a standard 800 x 600 px height.

Quote:

div#main {
height: 499px;
width: 462px;
margin-top: 100px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
background: white url(images/background.jpg) no-repeat 0 0;
position: relative;}

I must say that I don't get scroll bars though; you using IE, Alex?

However, this is just bizarre.

Quote:

em {
color: #993365;
font-style: normal;
}

Why set the <em> attribute (which would normally give italics) specifically not to give italics?

Maybe they stuck a load of <em> tags all over the website, then had a change of heart and couldn't be bothered to remove them!
