Hi
Just wanted to see some feedbacks from the gurus here :)
Any input we get will be considered and also put on our list for our new upcoming design.
Known issues
- [?] mouseover doesn't function in opera
- Loading time can be improved if remove more images
- SEO needs to be optimized more.
All feedbacks are welcome.
Thanks

Ok. If you wish:
- You need a DOCTYPE with your page.
We'll see what everyone else thinks.
I'm going to see how much it is now...

Forgot to mention that
When adding doctype, it seems to break the [?] mouse overs for firefox which is extremely weird so we had to decide to not include it :o

It works fine in IE + Firefox, what browser are you using, Opera?

Connection closed by foreign host.Your headers lie. You're sending XHTML, but they say you're sending HTML, even when I've specified not only that I accept XHTML, but also that I would prefer it. This results in browsers trying to error-correct your code into valid HTML rather than parsing it as XHTML. Of course, if you send it with the correct Content-Type (application/xhtml+xml), it won't work in IE, which doesn't support XHTML yet. Thus, if you want to support IE (which I'm guessing you probably do) you should steer clear of XHTML until IE gets support.
Also, it would be a much bigger step towards a standard site to use HTML 4.01 Strict. XHTML Transitional is based on HTML 4 Transitional, which was intended to ease the transition between HTML 3 and HTML 4. Nobody uses HTML 3 any more, so nobody should be using Transitional DOCTYPEs either. There are several things in your document that won't validate as HTML Strict, but I won't mention them here; you can use the validator (http://validator.w3.org/) to find them for yourself after you've changed your DOCTYPE.
function MDM_openWindow(theURL,winName,features)
{
var _W=window.open(theURL,winName,features);
_W.focus();
_W.moveTo(50,50);
}Hm, this code looks like some of the standard junk created by some kind of GUI editor. I'd say DreamWeaver (especially coupled with the stupid XHTML Trans DOCTYPE), but I don't think it uses an MDM_ prefix. Either way, steer well clear of such things. Write your code yourself, don't trust a program to do it for you. They always muck it up. If you must have an IDE, get something like Bluefish or Aptana that helps you rather than doing it for you.
Now this is definitely cruft from an old version of DreamWeaver:

</script>It looks very non-standard, although I can't tell without looking at the Menu function, which is in a different file that would take an age to load with my current connection problems. Either way, it's still ugly. Ditch it.

That looks like a generated FrontPage menu... hmm.
No, MM_ is the standard pre-Adobe DreamWeaver prefix. It's just MDM_ I'm wondering about...

Hi
Thank you, we definitely want to get rid of the menu soon but when we do we'll probably have to just re-design the entire website, as of now it works fine in all browsers so we're just sticking to it.
I'll have the programmer that recoded this page take a look at this thread.
Thanks
