I just uploaded the new Two Guys Software website. It works perfectly in Netscape and in Opera, but as soon as I loaded it in IE it wouldn't bring up the menu or news information in the row below the title movie. I really don't want to combine all the rows into one (why should I bend to Microsofts rules just because they're broswer is smelly), any suggestions on what should I do?

Confirmed! Running IE 5.5 and all I get is your movie/animation. I didn't see anything obvious in the HTML, but if I find something I'll repost.

Good luck solving it.

Here's a suggestion unless you find something better.

Make two versions of your site. One for Netscape/Opera/ect, and another for IE. Then use JavaScript to detect what type of browser the user is using when he's accessing your page. Then just have it automatically load the correct version of your page for their browser.

I've had some people look over it, and alot of them suggested that I accdentaly left a tab out of the code. So I'll hunt around when I get back home (it's Thanksgiving in Canada right now) and fix the problem.

You guys are going to like the new site...especially the new content.

Hi Mack.

I use IE 5.
I see the flash animation but it is incredibly slow
I have an AMD 433 processor.

Can't see anything but the animation though - no links to any other part of your site.

Have fun.

Heya,

Found the problem. There is a line that says:


</embed>

...that needs to be replaced with:


</object>

Change that and it should work fine!

I just got back from my Thanksgiving break.

I'll fix the page up and get it up and running as soon as I can.
