I just installed windows vista and upgraded my browser to ie 8. After getting all my files transfered to the new drive I opened my website in ie 8 and noticed that the left menus were displayed awkward. The background images were tiled across and you could see them. I guess it was like there was about an eighth of an inch extra space to the right of the menu section. If that makes any sense. The browser popped up a notice saying that the website was designed for older browsers and press the button to fix, I did, and it fixed it back to normal. So I don't think it is a major issue, if even an issue at all, but was wondering if this is an issue with the ccp software, the new browser, or both. If it is with ccp can or will you be making adjustments in the near future to agree with the new ie 8 browser? Has anyone else noticed this with the new browser from ms? Just curious.

It has worked with all the other browsers I've tried thus far, just only did it with ie 8 and once you click the fix button it goes normal again.

I see the same issues in Firefox 3

You have four errors in your skin code (splash page) dealing with the use of attributes not allowed in cell tags and tables tags in xhtml which are width, bgcolor and height (grouped together)
<td width="790" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" id="skin_ht_lcol"> <td width="790" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" id="skin_ht_lcol"> <table width="790" height="40" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
best done like
<table style="width: 790px; height: 40px;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
You also have 4 errors and 18 warnings in your css files, all of which is probably causing your display problems.

Thanks for the response. I used the validator that was recomended somewhere in these forums and saw these errors that you posted. I tried to replace the code in the skin php file but nothing changed except I got about 16 more errors after the re-validation. so I put it back to the way it was. I am curious as to how and where you found the css errors? How can I see them or find where they are? I want to do a little playing with this to see if I can figure it out, but won't be able to do much till this weekend. I know absolutely nothing about code stuff, so this is all new and foreign to me. If I can't get it to work, can I buy a support ticket and get you guys to fix up my code so it is clean and works? I'm assuming that is what the support ticket is for.

I finally got it to check out good. Still have some warnings but all errors are corrected. I found that I still had the issue even after it validated both css and xhtml. I realized that I had changed the width of the left column and it was wider than the bg image. I guess that ccp tiles bg images by default which I believe was what we were seeing. So I changed the columns, adjusted some margins and allignments and am back on track. Cool, and it is all up to code. Well almost, still have some warnings to tackle. Thanks John for the help and the link to the css validator, I overlooked the link at the bottom of the markup page before.

You can specifi in the css class for the background image to not repeat, it's not a function of ccp to do what you where seeing but of html, since the area to display was larger than the image, it had to repeat.
