Yes, thank you.
I just tried that exact link with no problems. The web is sometimes a spastic thing. This morning I couldn't connect to anything, now all is well. Perhaps just a temporary routing problem between you and Birmingham, but the server is working.

:(
Downloaded the menu this morning (the link works now... odd)
Uploaded the menu to the test page site here
The border problem is now fixed in IE
BUT, when the menu is not in a table, moving the mouse over any part of one of those thumbnail images on the right will make a larger image appear underneath. This is Good.
When the menu is in a table, you have to make sure the mouse is directly over the middle of one of those thumbnail images to make the larger verison to appear. This is Bad.
Andy, any chance of a fix to this too ??

I don't know why when I try your url, I get page cannot be found?
When you say thumbnail you mean an icon? I think of a thumbnail as generated resize.
What I've noticed, maybe my slow connection, hesitation such as overimage onbgimage on menubgimage, probably all those images together. Overimage on menubgimage is faster and a smoother transition.

Hi sparkstack,
On your tabletest page, when I mouse over a thumbnail, I get an "object expected" error. Offhand, I'd guess that it's because your thumbnail menu item calls the showtip() function, but no such function exists. I'm assuming your intent is to use the tooltips.js module, but it hasn't been loaded into your test page. I'd take care of that, then retest your thumbnail setup and see if the problem you described goes away.
Some other observations from a personal standpoint (and I hope you don't mind). I think the page look pretty cool, and I think your use of the menu to do the thumbnail thing is innovative. Nice job. But... and this is purely my own opinion... I tend not to like it when a site resizes my browser window. Just thought I'd mention it, for what it's worth.
Cheers,
Kevin

Well, that's what I get for looking at the NS4 page - this time you beat me to it, Kevin...
I am definitely on your side with the window resize thing. In fact, I will leave a site that resizes OR moves my window. My desktop is set up a certain way (limited real estate at home), and for somebody else to come in and mess that up is an intrusion. Sorry, spark, but I just don't see a reason for it.
Other than that - very nice presentation.

Yes. I mean an Icon. I was having the same "page not found problem" when i tried to access page from home yesterday. although i could see it at work..
Kevin
Yes. I am undecided about the tooltips. They don't seem to work the same as regular windows tootips i.e they will bring up scrollbars on the window if the tip extends outside of the page area.
As for the resize window thing,
shouldn't actually be there; best i remove it pronto...
EDIT
Problem now seems to be fixed. Seems to be related to the tootips menu calls...
