What the hell, why have you put the doctype into an IE-only conditional comment???
Ok, sure that forces IE to stop working in 'quirks mode' (even tho IE is still wrong) but why would you want to stop your site validating properly in firefox???
1. Why bother about validating your page? It serves it's purpose fine.
2. FireFox renders CSS different (much better) than in IE. I include the doctype for IE because then it likes the CSS, otherwise, FireFox doesn't like it. So it's a nice quick and simple solution to the problem

I love Silvernova's current color scheme, it's pretty and it has a very "underground" feeling to it.
Thanks
Joe: I agree.
Alex: We could do video reviews as an addition to some of the most important reviews, that would be cool imo.
Tim, you should code the CSS for firefox first, then hack it around for IE. And all your if statement does is stopping it validating in firefox. Oh btw, how come half your site is valid xhtml and half sloppy html 4, it looks copy+pasted

1. I did do it for FireFox first, then worked around it for IE.. but my solution to one problem in IE, conflicted with the perfect workings of FireFox... All to do with the CSS. When I solved something wrong by making another thing right for IE, FireFox then went "ah but wait, now that's wrong!" and i'm like "yes I know but now IE... oh nevermind".
If FireFox could talk, anyways
And you'll find that's because some of the site is written in notepad, some other stuff in DreamWeaver. I am to get it functioning first KM, then clean up later. Now stop it you! lol
Sorry, I'm being picky as I do websites as my job. I suppose it works fine, and I'm guessing you're more of a designer than a coder too. It's funny because all the if statement does is make non-IE browsers not validate
I think it would be best to go for something that looks nice, but simple. The graphics on the Silvernova site are quite impressive, but it's a bit distracting and the menu links are really small.
Yeah I agree that we don't want something too 'over the top'. I've actually got something I did a while ago that I can alter a little and post - to see what ya'll think?
