Indeedy. Just by looking at the first page of code (first 40 lines or so), I
can tell that it won't get as much as a millimeter past W3C's validator. And
that's a lot of unnecessary JavaScript segments, such as the "Surf to
listbox" navigation (which won't work at all unless you're using a
JavaScript-enabled browser) and the date display up in the top left corner
(below the "home", "about" and "services" images). I can see the "need" for
the onmouseover-image-switcher thingy, although they could easily have done
without it.

Regarding the date display; if my own system date is wrong, then their page
will show the wrong date as well. This is where you either skip displaying
the date altogether or use server-side scripting.

Like someone said in a previous thread you started, it's apparently not
about the website, but the sales pitch. Personally, I would've considered
other companies after seeing a website such as this one.

More fun to see his nuts.

What on earth is "soup-to-nuts" supposed to mean anyway? Who turns soup
into nuts? Or do they feed soup to crazy people?

What on earth is "soup-to-nuts" supposed to mean anyway? Who turns
soup into nuts?

American expression meaning "from A to Z." Not suitable for the WORLD
Wide Web, though.

Or do they feed soup to crazy people?

Much of the time. They can't hurt themselves. <g>

I think it's a reference to something that spans a wide range...as in a
long/large dinner/banquet that includes soup, various courses, and even nuts as
a dessert/snack...

And in fact pretty dated even as an Americanism. I don't think I've
heard it used in an ad since the 1970's.

Fancy dinners start with a course of soup, and end with nuts being served.

I've been to these dinners, it's not a totally used-up expression just yet.

Over here they start with a few cans of cold beer and end up with a bottle
of port or two. If it's real fancy then maybe a cointreau over crushed ice
and a tim tam.

Well, most parties I go to start with martinis and end with clouded 10AM
searches for where the car keys may have been hidden. But there are all
types of parties.
