See any scroll bars so I can scroll right to look at your telephone number?
I don't.

What point is there in having content on the page, and important content at
that, that is unviewable?
its always in view.

Except for IPODs. And junk like that. People who buy small computers we
don't want to see anyway. ;-)

You are a complete and utter prat.

I can't see the phone number either and I am using IE7 on a 60"
monitor. See above.

"prat" is not in my dictionnaries.

In your file : /Replikit/Top.html
change :
<table width="1125px" (which is not correct anyway)
by :
<table width="100%" (to get the table adapted to viewport width)


As you seem to want to alight you files, you could begin with your CSS,
then continue with your HTML.

ie, in your page : shop_by_category.php?category_id=67
you don't need to do :

<Table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="3">
<TR>
<td class="menublock"><b>Part #:</b></td>
<td class="menublock"><b>Picture:</b></td>
<TD class="menublock" ><b>Item</b></td>

<TD class = "menublock"><b>Stock</b></TD>
<TD class="menublock"><b> Price</b></td>
</tr>

it would be enough to do (and suppressing the inutile bold tags):

<Table class="menublock"
width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="3">
<TR>
<th>Part #:</th>
<th>Picture:</th>
<Th>Item</th>
<Th>Stock</Th>
<Th>Price</th>
</tr>

In following rows of this table, I do not understand why you need :
- span (if it is for the class, the TD can receive it)
- onmouseBlah whom alone object is to style the link
Anyway no classes s1, s2, s3 are needed at all.

At least : you'll gain 10 to 20% weight.
(and without TABLE probably 10% more)

I pass on the 26 errors of html that Tidy shown me.

Thanks.
Very useful (with pronunciation too) and speedy (hop! bookmarked).
Now I know (for the moment) what 'Yikes' could be.

Remember that that is not a dictionary of the English language; for
that, you should go to Scotland, and consult <http://www.chambersharrap.
co.uk/chambers/index.shtml>, if you cannot access the OED itself.

Thanks, very fast too.
Unlovely without pronunciation.
and ... it doesn't know 'Yikes'
while it knows 'yoicks' (for sure ! in GB)

Tremendous !
But what does it want to say?

It's an interjection expressing shock or horror, of uncertain
provenance. (Merriam-Webster says "probably an alteration of
'yoicks'", which was an 18th-century cry to encourage foxhounds, but
this does not particularly clarify the matter.)
I do not see even how's that can pronounce!

In SAMPA, I believe it'd be /jaIks/. Like "bikes" but with a different
initial consonant. (As is usually the case in English, the final "e"
is silent and makes the preceding "i" pronounced as the so-called
"long I", which is actually the diphthong /aI/ in English Received
Pronunciation and General American English. Australians typically
pronounce long-I, with I think a back-vowel offglide rather than a
front-vowel one - probably because of being upside-down all the time -
but I'm no linguist.)

We learn much about everything in this group !
