Yup. I'll never understand some people's fascination with
doing outrageous, complicated stuff which introduces all sorts
of problems, when something simple would do the job. :-P
(Ummm, this after I posted a message about hooking an electric
motor up to the water pump to drain the coolant instead of
pulling the block drains... but I didn't actually do it,
just talked about it.) :-)
I played around with the HTML a little bit, and I think
the problem stems from using all those div tags with
"position : absolute". When I removed them, I could see
the page, though not formatted like it was intended to be.
(When are people going to get the point that HTML is a
markup language, not a WYSIWYG desktop publisher?) :-P
Better to have no web site at all than one which nobody can
use! What has got me *really* curious now though is what web
browser are they using? I have to assume it works for *them*
because who would put up a page which is unusable? Weird,
weird stuff.
