Another css question

The sites I've done are as cure css layout as I can. Most are only css. IE is a pain. Now with IE7 the old 'fixes' will be broken again.

do you encounter this css import problem in firefox?

On my site, we've used pure CSS. With some hacks to get the PNGs to display properly in IE. Can't see why you're having a problem, though.

Still crashed the browser on your page.

Could possibly be my system them.
I'm not over the moon with it at the moment.
9 grand, 5 weeks and it's still a bit flakey.

I've reinstalled everything twice now.

Hope you're not treating it like you would OS9 Dave...
That would give you heartache. It did for me.

At the moment Dreamweaver locks up on the start screen and its help has stopped working altogether.
The jump from 3 to 8 was reasonably painless with no significant improvement in functionality.

Flash has got significantly harder to use in the jump from 3 to 8 and I'm getting reports of people on older browsers not being able to see flash movies made on 8 - the gui has taken several retrograde steps and I'm almost tempted to run v3 in classic, but the fonts fuck up.

Indesign and lays are significantly better - no question - i'm looking forward to taking Kiwi Rider much further ahead in the next few months. 1 more edition and it should change over.

Garage band, podcasting and iLife are fabulous.

Safari crashes in many java sites. Adobe acrobat is also unstable.

Overall good - could be somewhat better.
