[Some Gei]

Ok I give up.

Someone please take a look at www.waggr.com

and scroll down to the very bottom. Notice how underneat the copyright
message there are two letters... "gh"... could someone please explain to me
why they are there???

This only appears in ie for some reason. Is this an IE bug?

Doesn't show up in Konqueror, and it validates like a champ, both markup and
CSS.

I notice the last two letters of your name after the copyright notice end
with 'gh'. If they're somehow getting displayed wrong in Explorer it is
not likely something *you've* done wrong. Whether you fix it for Explorer
depends on your attitude toward hacks and workarounds.

Thanks mbstevens..

Yeah whatever last two characters are in that paragraph end up getting
repeated on the next line. This bug only shows up in IE. One workaround I
tried was putting two non-breaking spaces after my name, which does work...
but I don't really like that solution...

I could live with those little display problems in Explorer. But once last
year I went over to my Windows partition and online with Explorer for a few
minutes and got a virus that made my machine reboot whenever I went online
again. I fixed the virus, but made a resolution never to let IE or XP play
on the net again. It's like letting a very attractive and stupid dog play
in the street. It'll either get run over or stolen.

Try removing this comment, this worked on my IE6:

<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="Main.region" -->

and just a note: you reference the css file twice in the head section,
and you might want to consolidate the #footer css for readability.

Thanks, I fixed the css references.

I can't really remove that comment because Dreamweaver puts them in
automatically to manage templates.

I gave up and just put two non-breaking spaces after the last paragraph,
that way at least IE only repeats two blank spaces.

<chuckle><snarf>
There was a recent thread about dreamweaver vs hand coding wherein
I wish your problem had been available for all to see. Technically, this is
IE's fault, but if you had been doing hand coding, not only would you be
able to remove the comment if you wanted to -- it would never have been put
into the doc the first place to entertain/frustrate all these good people.

Use a simple text editor like notepad to clean things up before
publishing the site?

Just a note about the site. When you say "Best viewed in Mozilla Firefox." -
why FireFox? It'd render just the same in normal Mozilla, since it's the
same renderer.

And then there are other standards complient renderers like KHTML (which
Konqueror and Safari use) which render the pages just as well.

Maybe "Best viewed not in IE" is better
